بنو مزني أمراء بسكرة

Banu Muzni, amirs of Biskra and the Zab country; of Banu Jari ibn Ulwan of the Athbaj by the genealogists Ibn Khaldun cites, who settled the Zab villages over the earlier Zanata and conquest-era inhabitants and shared sweet and bitter with them, their grandees organised as lords of the shura council — among their amirs Musa ibn Muhammad ibn Mas'ud al-Balt, amir of the nomads who gave bay'a to the Hafsid Abu Ishaq against his brother al-Mustansir, their rule enduring through the Abd al-Wadid and Marinid fitnas to Ibn Khaldun's day.
