Notes. 



Having premised, that there exists no possible form within reason- 

 able limits into which proper names in manuscript may not be traced 

 and that several liberties have been taken to obtain from the text 

 even a shade of meaning, I proceed to offer my authorities for the 

 readings I have adopted. 



Before me lie four copies of this work ; Sir Wm. Ouseley's from 

 the Persian : Sprenger's copy of Ibne Huokul ; Estukhuree as edited 

 by Moeller; the printed copy of Edresee translated into French.
