[Footnote 137: The evidence of William of Tyre (Hist. in
Gestis Dei per Francos, l. xxii. c. 8, p. 1022) is copied or
confirmed by Jacques de Vitra, (Hist. Hierosolym. l. ii. c.
77, p. 1093, 1094.) But this unnatural league expired with
the power of the Franks; and Abulpharagius (who died in
1286) considers the Maronites as a sect of Monothelites,
(Bibliot. Orient. tom. ii. p. 292.)]
