The source of the quotation in Arabic is folio 21b of a single extant manuscript by Ibn al-Muraggaµ, about 1030–1040 C.E. The reference is Tübingen University Library, M.a.VI–27. The quotation is repeated by Sayûti, 1470 C.E. See, for example, Guy le Strange, Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society 19 (1887), pp. 247–305 (p. 277).
