Mūsā the Barmecide, an active and energetic ruler, died in 836, but before his death ventured on a step which clearly indicated that the hold of the Caliphs on Sind was relaxing. He nominated his son ‘Amrān as his successor, and the significance of the measure was hardly diminished by the formality of obtaining al-Mu‘tasim's recognition of the appointment. When provincial governments in the east begin to become hereditary they are in a fair way to becoming kingdoms. - [Previous: v3.c19.31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.haig-1928.v3.c19.31) - [Next: v3.c19.33](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.haig-1928.v3.c19.33) - [Up: v3.c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.haig-1928.v3.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.haig-1928.v3.c19.32](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.haig-1928.v3.c19.32) · Pramāṇa
