Notes

From King, Math. Astr. Med. Yemen (p. 39): Al-Najrānī's Zīj has not survived in its entirety. Fragments containing only planetary mean motion tables and equation tables are preserved in MSS DA2 (see 35.1) and MV6,65 and al-Daylamī also incorporated some of al-Najrānī's tables in his Zīj (see 28.1). Al-Najrānī
appears to have relied rather heavily on Ibn Yūnus.
