The events referred to here happened before the restoration of Haflid power under Abul-'Abbas. Cf. pp. 95 and 116, above. It is strange to see that only the text of Bulaq adds a reference to Abul-'Abbas: "Eventually, our Master, the Commander of the Faithful, Abul-'Abbas, made an end to this situation and deprived them of the power they had." Apparently the passage belonged to the Tunis MS written for Abul-'Abbas.
