Note 051
From Chapter 57 of the Decline & Fall

On the conquest of Asia Minor, M. De Guignes has derived no assistance from the Turkish or Arabian writers, who produce a naked list of the Seljukides of Roum. The Greeks are unwilling to expose their shame, and we must extort some hints from Scylitzes, (p. 860, 863,) Nicephorus Bryennius, (p. 88, 91, 92, etc., 103, 104,) and Anna Comnena (Alexias, p. 91, 92, etc., 163, etc.)
