[Footnote 17: Fecit et Chaled plurima in hoc anno praelia,
in quibus vicerunt Muslimi, et infidelium immensa
multitudine occisa spolia infinita et innumera sunt nacti,
(Hist. Saracenica, p. 20.) The Christian annalist slides
into the national and compendious term of infidels, and I
often adopt (I hope without scandal) this characteristic
mode of expression.]
