Placed in AD 747 by a source

Each record sits in this year because its source places it here, or because a conversion of the source’s date, stated on the record, does. That is a placement, not a settled date, and not a complete account of the year. “No region assigned” means the collection has not fixed where the act took place. How to read a record

Abu Muslim returns to the Marw district

Al-Tabari's variant accounts place Abu Muslim's return to the Marw district in Shaʿban or Ramadan 129 AH; both months fall entirely within Julian 747.

Limits: Line 3451 gives Ramadan 1; Abu al-Khattab's version at 3453 gives Shaʿban 9 and lodging at Finin; line 3477 gives arrival at Finin with seven nights remaining of Ramadan. The variants establish the year without establishing one arrival date.
