foundations of the brilliant Muhammadan civilisation which the Iranian peoples of Central Asia were to enjoy under the rule of a dynasty of their own race.

The popularity of Na_s_r is demonstrated also by the growth of a tradition round his name. This appears in _T_abarī somewhat unobtrusively in isolated passages, unfortunately without quotation of Madāʾinī’s authorities. According to the “Fihrist” (103. 12) Madāʾinī wrote two books on the administrations of Asad b. ʿAbdullah and Na_s_r b. Sayyār, a fact which confirms the special importance of these two governors in the history of Khurāsān. Probably Asad was more popular with the dihqāns and Na_s_r with the people.
