³ Ibnul Asir: xi, p. 121. *Guzidah*, i, p. 408, and *Baizawi*, 68b, however respectively, date the event in 551/1156 and 558/1163. Raverty: *op. cit.* p. 363, note, also supports *Guzidah*, but in view of the fact that Nizami Uruzi dedicated his *Chahar Maqala*, finished, according to Browne, in 1156/7, to Alauddin, who is referred to as living, Ibnul Asir's date must be regarded as correct. Browne: translation of *Chahar Maqala*, p. 37.
