[85] The variant readings in Tab. 1509. 11. (cf. Ibn al-Athīr) make it doubtful whether the taxes were reimposed on them or not.
[86] Tab. 1514. 11.
[87] See Yāqūt s.v.: Barthold, Turkestan 127: and cf. Tab. 1523. 3. The chief difficulty in Tabarī’s text is the abrupt change at the last word of l. 14 on p. 1516: thumma tahawwala (ashrashu) ilā marjin yuqālu lahu bawādaratun faʿatāhum sabābatun ... wahum nuzūlun bikamarjata. The context shows that it was not to Ashras that Sabāba came but to the garrison of Kamarja with the news that the Khāqān was retiring past them (mārrun bikum).
[88] The chronological difficulties are explained by Wellhausen 285 ff. They are of small importance however, and it seems preferable to follow his dates for these campaigns.
