Description / Bio

Abū Manṣūr Muḥammad was the son of an unnamed Hilāl al-Dawla / Kanz al-Dīn. He corresponded with an eparch at Ibrīm about a shipment of horses. It seems he answers to a governor (at Aswan?). He had a mare that he gave as a gift to the eparch. He also had at least two slaves, one of whom was named Yaḥyā.
