[Footnote 184: Both the interpreters of Novairi, De Guignes
(Hist. des Huns, tom. i. p. 349) and Cardonne, (Hist. de
l'Afrique et de l'Espagne, tom. i. p. 93, 94, 104, 135,)
lead Musa into the Narbonnese Gaul. But I find no mention
of this enterprise, either in Roderic of Toledo, or the Mss.
of the Escurial, and the invasion of the Saracens is
postponed by a French chronicle till the ixth year after the
conquest of Spain, A.D. 721, (Pagi, Critica, tom. iii. p.
177, 195. Historians of France, tom. iii.) I much question
whether Musa ever passed the Pyrenees.]
