Note 190 — INTRODUCTION (continued 2)
Marcus Nathan Adler translation
Ashmun is described by Abulfeda as a large city. We read in a Geniza fragment that David ben Daniel, a descendant of the Exilarch, passed through this place on the way to Fostat, J.Q.R., XV, 87. The fourth channel is the Tanitic branch. See p. 78, n. 2.
