[1006]. Rochat, op. cit. p. 89. Al-Bîrûnî, whom he quotes, however, says merely that the Manichaeans increased under Ormuz, and also that Ormuz “killed a number of them.” See last note.
[1007]. Al-Jakûbi in Kessler, op. cit. p. 330. But Darmesteter (see passage quoted in n. 2, p. [284] infra) puts this event as happening after Ormuz’ death and under Shapur II.

[1015]. Al-Bîrûnî, Chron. p. 187, makes Manes the successor or continuator of Bardesanes and Marcion. This was certainly not so; but it was probably only from their followers that he derived any acquaintance with Christianity. See n. 7, p. [280] supra. So Muhammad or Mahommed, four centuries later, drew his ideas of the same faith from the heretics of his day.
