[Footnote 100: Al Wakidi had likewise composed a separate
history of the conquest of Egypt, which Mr. Ockley could
never procure; and his own inquiries (vol. i. 344 - 362)
have added very little to the original text of Eutychius,
(Annal. tom. ii. p. 296 - 323, vers. Pocock,) the Melchite
patriarch of Alexandria, who lived three hundred years after
the revolution.]
