Liuliyans

Ibn al-Nadim mentions Liuliyanus as a king who turned away from Christianity to the doctrine of the philosophers after Galen, and Themistius was his secretary, and he had his letter. ²

In Nafh al-Tib of al-Maqqari there is a man of this name, said to have held to obedience to the Goths and their faith, and to have been king of the Berbers in the mountains of Ghumara. Al-Maqqari says that he incited Musa ibn Nusayr to invade al-Andalus because of what had happened between him and Roderic, and that he joined Tariq and uncovered for the Arabs the weakness of the Goths. ³

The file brings together under one entry two persons of the same name: the king whom Ibn al-Nadim mentions, and the figure in the account of al-Andalus in al-Maqqari. Telling them apart needs an additional source.
