V. Fasc. I), p. 106. 2 P. R. I. A. , p. 243. 3 See Trad. B, p. 10, supra. 4 I should say that I have frankly abandoned the explanation of 60 THE TREATY OF MISR Before quitting Tabari, however, I must point out a discrepancy in his evidence. For whereas in the one tradition he says that when 'Amr, reinforced by Zubair, met Abu Maryam and Abu Maryam, they fought with him ; l in the other he says * When ' Amr and Al Mukaukis met at 'Ain Shams, their armies began to fight '. 2 That these two statem...ents refer to one and the same incident, does not in my opinion admit of reasonable doubt. It is one more illus- tration of the necessity of considering the various traditions in Tabari in their isolation as well as in their union. But if the incident is the same, and if one tradition alleges that it was the katholikos of Misr, while another alleges that it was Al Mukaukis, whose meeting with 'Amr was followed by the battle at 'Ain Shams, or the battle of Heliopolis, then it follows that the Mukaukis may be identified with the katholikos of Misr, and the katholikos of Misr may be the metropolitan of Egypt, or in other words the Patriarch Cyrus.
