Note 96 — BOOK III.
William Robson translation
The name of this Seljoucide prince has been disfigured by the greater part of the Latin historians. Tudebode and the monk Robert call him Cassianus; Foucher de Chartres, Gratianus; William of Tyre, Acxianus; Albert d’Aix, Darsianus; M. de Guignes, and the greater part of the Orientalists, call him, after Abulfeda, Bayhistan; but in other Oriental historians he is named Akby Syran ’brother of the black), which is more conformable to the corrupt name of Accien, which he bears in our “History of the Crusades.”
