The period of his reign and the reigns of his two sons, Yagsum [Bagsum] and Masruk, when this Habashah dynasty terminated, was 73 years, and in the last year the Prophet, Muhammad, was born.
XXIII. Yagsum, son of Abrahah, who reigned 4 years.
XXIV. Masruk, son of Abrahah. He was dethroned by Saif, the son of his mother by an 'Arab husband, aided by some criminals set at liberty for the purpose by command of Nushirwan, to whom Saif had complained.
XXV. Saif, son of Zi-Yazan. He reigned a considerable time, and was subsequently slain by a Habasi left behind, who had entered his service.

XXVII. The Marzaban, son of Hariz [or Dahriz], the 'Ajami. He succeeded his father by Nushirwan's command, and reigned over Yaman a long time. At his death his son, Sajan [Abu-Shajan ?], succeeded, and, at his death, Khur-Khusrau became king of Yaman. The reign of Nushirwan had terminated, and Hurmuz had succeeded; and Khur-Khusrau, having rebelled, was removed.
