and descended from the Arab tribe of Sama’an. He is the author of a book of
Arabian genealogies, in eighty-volumes, entitled Ansdb—Races, which contains all the
genealogies that he could collect up to 562 of the Higrt’i (11 GO A.D.). This hook has

works are much esteemed by subsequent writers. He was born in the year 131,
and died, aged seventy-four lunar years, a Kady of Bagdad, under the Khalife’
al-Maamoon, on the 11th of the month Dhu-l-haggd, in the year 307 of the lligra
