Note 156
Besides the Arabic chronicles of Abulfeda,
Elmacin, and Abulpharagius, under thc seventy-third year of
the Hegira, we may consult D'Herbelot (Biblioth. Orient. p.
7) and Ockley (Hist. of the Saracens, vol. ii. p. 339-349).
The latter has given the last and pathetic dialogue between
Abdallah and his mother, but he has forgot a physical effect
of her grief for his death, the return, at the age
of ninety, and fatal consequences of her menses.
