(see ed. Sobhy, chapter 18, pp. 117-18), the excerpt presented here is not found. The text was copied by the grandson of Muḥammad Amīn Bek ibn Ibrāhīm Bek ibn Yūnus Afandī ibn Yāsīn Afandī al-Muftī ibn Maḥmūd Afandī (Muhammad Amin Bey Ibn Ibrahim Bey Ibn Yunus Effendi Ibn Yasin Effendi Al-Mufti Ibn Mahmud Effendi, d. ca 1812, see Raʾūf, 'al-Adīb al-ṭabīb Muḥammad Amīn Bek Āl Yāsīn al-Muftī al-Mawṣilī' [2016]).
