Some Mss. have the additional virtue nmm, but not the gloss. Rosin (p. 31, n. 2, and p. 80, n. 4) is of the opinion that I. T. translated here from an Arabic text 30 which differed from the Pococke text. He attributes the virtue JVUm, which is not in the Pococke text, to I. T., but not the explanatory gloss. Since, however, there are a number of reliable Mss. (among them Ma codd. (Parma) 327 71 438 269) which do not contain this virtue, it may be concluded that it was added to the I. T. version, and that I. T. did not have before 35 him a text varying from that of Pococke. See supra, Introduction, p. 23.
