t^v-* £>ey f (Pz ' ~ This index of persons and peoples contains all such names mentioned in the text and the bibliographical references in the footnotes. When a footnote contains an extended discussion of a western author’s views, he is listed as well. In the alphabetization, no distinction has been made between different Arabic sounds. Thus t and t are treated as the same letter. The words b. (ibn), bt. (bint), and the definite article (al-) in all its forms are disregarded in the alphabetical order, as are the 'ayn (') and hamzah (’). An attempt has been made to identify all individuals according to their Arabic proper names, even though they may be better known under their patronymic, genealogy, and/or professional background. Thus the jurist Abu Hanifah is to be found under an-Nu'man b. Thabit, and the historian at-Tabari, under Muhammad b. Jarir. Where the Arabic proper name is not known, the individual is listed according to the form first mentioned. Aban b. Sadaqah, 55, 292 'Abbad b. al-Khasib, 262 al-'Abbas b. al-fAbbas b.

vibey or (j \j%ces This index contains all place names mentioned in the text and notes. Many Arabic terms may be variously translated into English, and moreover, specific monuments may in time lend their names to surrounding areas. Therefore it is often difficult and sometimes impossible to render precise English translations, or to know whether a particular architectural structure or a wider geographical locality is indicated. In this respect the translation lends itself to considerable interpretation, much of which is highly conjectural. The reader is therefore referred to the Arabic glossary of technical terms related to topography (Appendix F). An attempt has been made as well to cross-index various locations according to both English and Arabic names. Since the text is confined specifically to the Early Middle Ages, and centers largely about the work of the Khatib, the list of locations in the index is by no means all inclusive. Enquiries may be directed to the index of LeStrange, and the Arabic texts of Ya qubl and Yaqut. ’Abbarat al-Kukh, 103 al-'Abbas Bridge, see Qantarat al-'Abbas al-'Abbasiyah, 75, 80, 81, 188, 246, 260, 263, 277 Abiward, 67, 68 Abu Ja'far’s Mill, 75, 259 'Adudi Dar al-Mamlakah, 271-72, 279, 280; see also Dar al-Ahwaz, 51, 127, 269, 271 al'Allafin, 103 al-'Amud, 102; see also Karkhaya al-Anbar, 123, 126, 245 — Road, 68; see also Bab Anbarite Mosque, 258 — Mosque Quarter, 59, 73, 257 Arabian Peninsula, 126, 276 Archway of Asma’, see Bab at-Taq; Taq — al-Harrani, see Taq Armenia, 89, 269 Askar al-Mahdi, see ar-Rusafah al-'Attabiyin, 253, 254 Bab Abi Qabisah, 101 — al-Abraz, 104 315
