Notes and comments

1 Hishm I ibn Abd I, born 139/757, emir 172/788 until his death, 3 180/17 April 796. According to Ibn al-Athr and Ibn Idhr, at the time of Abd death, in 172/788, Hishm was governor of Mérida: EI 2nd iii, 493; Fagnan (1898) i, 76–77; Fagnan (1901–1904) ii, 63.

2 Banqa marw: a piece inserted, or perhaps the hem, of a doubled cloak of Marw stuff. Banqa is explained by al-Abyr as zq, hem. Lane says: ‘the gore [insert]of a shirt’. probably a double or reinforced cloak or mantle. Marw: literally ‘of Merv’, the town now in modern Turkestan. According to al-Maqqar, Ziryb, the arbiter of fashion in the time of Abd II (206–238/832–852), recommended the wearing of coarse garments of Merv at the end of summer, which Serjeant suggests must describe a type of material, rather than something from the town in Central Asia: Lane Bk. i, pt. 1, 259–260; Ibn-Akutya (1982) 61, note 1; Serjeant (1972) 167.
