^{page 32 note 3} This Ibn Faḍlān is quite likely the very same Abū ‘Alī b. Faḍlān al-Yahūdī mentioned in Muntaຓam, VIII, 190 (anno 450). The Diary has no other information on the brother. For information concerning Ibn Faḍlān, see Nos. 92, 140, 141, and 152. The last two Nos. indicate a close connexion between Ibn Faḍlān and the wealthy merchant, Shaikh Abū ‘Abd Allāh b. Jarada Ibn Faḍlān is another Jewish banker of Baghdād to be added to those mentioned by Fischel, W.J., Jews in the economic and political life of medieval Islam, 33, n. 1.Google Scholar Note, however, that in Eclipse, III, 282, anno 386/996, there is mention of a Jewish banker by the same name of Abū ‘Alī b. Faḍān al-Yahūdī, who may have been the same person or a descendant.

^{page 32 note 4} No other obituary found. This name was also supposed to have been that of the Caliph al-Qā'im's mother who died in 452, see Muntaຓam, VIII, 217; Kāmil, anno 452; Bidāya, XII, 86. Ibn al-Jauzī gives two other variants of the name of the Caliph's mother: Badr ad-Dujā and ‘Alam.

^{page 33 note 1} That is, the sons of Abū Manṡūr b. Yūsuf.

^{page 33 note 2} Ibn Jahīr (No. 18).

^{page 33 note 3} In this regard, it is of interest to note that the fifth article (there were seven in all) of the Caliph's written decision for the dismissal of his Wazīr had cited, as a cause for dismissal, the fact that the Wazīr had solicited robes of honour from the Sultan Alp Arslān without the Caliph's permission, and when the Caliph prohibited his wearing them in the Caliphal Palace, the Wazīr asked the Sultan to intervene constraining the Caliph to allow him to do so. (Cf. No. 18, and Mir'āt az-zamān, fol. 112a.)

^{page 33 note 4} Three brothers are known by this nisba: Abū'l-Ḥasan, Abū'l-Ma‘ālī, and Abū's-Su‘ūd, according to the accounts given by Sam‘ānī, Ansāb, fol. 517a-b, and Yāqūt, Mu‘jam al-Buldān, IV, 469 (there are some inconsistencies in these two accounts which seem to have been derived from a common source). Their father, whose kunya is not given, is said to have become a resident of Baghdād (see Madhār in Le Strange, Lands, map II) where his sons were born. According to Ibn al-Jauzī, Munlaຓam, X, 145–6, Abū Ṭāhir al-Madhārī had a son by the name of Abū'l-M‘ālī Aḥmad b. Muḥammad b. Aḥmad b. al-Ḥasan al-Madhārī, who was born in 462 and died in 546. If his date of birth is correctly given, this Abū'l-Ma‘ālī could not possibly be the same one referred to in the Diary. Cf. Dhail, I, 45, where the name is given in an isnād next to Ibn al-Bannā’, with some variants: Abၫ'l-Ma‘ālī Aḥmad b. Muḥammad b. al-Ḥusain al-Madārī. For Abū Ṭāhir, cf. Nos. 78, 116, and 134.

^{page 33 note 5} Abū Muḥammad ‘Abd Allāh al-Baradānī this biographical notice is copied in part by Ibn Rajab, Dhail, I, 11.

^{page 34 note 1} Besides having the same kunya, Sharīf Abū Ja‘far and the Caliph al-Qā’im are first cousins on the paternal side, according to Ibn Rajab, in Dhail, I, 25.

^{page 38 note 3} The sources are not consistent about this Hāshimite's name, especially the kunya. In addition to his name as given here, see No. 90: ‘al-Qāḍī Ibn al-Gharīq ’, and No. 134: ‘Ash-Sharīf Abū’l-Ḥasan b. al-Gharāq’. The biographical notice in Muntaຓam, VIII, 283, has ‘Abū'l-Ḥusain ’; so also those in Bidāya, XII, 108 (where erroneously Ibn al-‘Arīf), in Shadharāt, II, 324, and in Kāmil, anno 465. It is possible that his kunya was confused with that of his son Abü’l-Ḥasan Hibat Allāh (419–79, in Muntaຓam, IX, 34, Kāmil, anno 479) or with that of his first cousin Abū'l-Ḥasan Muḥammad b. Aḥmad b. al-Muhtadī bi'llāh (384–464, in Muntaຓam, VIII, 274, Bidāya, XII, 105, but: Abū'l-Ḥusain, in Kāmil, anno 464). The latter was a qāḍī in Wāsit; while Ibn al-Gharīq was qāḍī in Baghdād from 409 to 465 (succeeded by his son), as well as preacher in the two jāmi', al-Manşūr and al-Mahdī, for 67 years. Cf. Tārīkh Baghdād, IV, 294, where al-Khaṭīb lists Abū'l-Ḥusain b. al-Gharīq whom he knew and who died in 411. See also Nos. 90, 134, and 162.
