[Footnote 74: From the expedition of Isar Atsiz, (A. H. 469,
A.D. 1076,) to the expulsion of the Ortokides, (A.D. 1096.)
Yet William of Tyre (l. i. c. 6, p. 633) asserts, that
Jerusalem was thirty-eight years in the hands of the Turks;
and an Arabic chronicle, quoted by Pagi, (tom. iv. p. 202)
supposes that the city was reduced by a Carizmian general to
the obedience of the caliph of Bagdad, A. H. 463, A.D. 1070.
These early dates are not very compatible with the general
history of Asia; and I am sure, that as late as A.D. 1064,
the regnum Babylonicum (of Cairo) still prevailed in
Palestine, (Baronius, A.D. 1064, No. 56.)]
