    • (Can we date this quote?), al-Ṣuḥārī, الأَنْسَاب [al-ʔansāb, The Pedigrees]:
      وقال وهب بن مُنَبِّه: ولد يافث بن نوح جامر بن يافث، وسويد بن يافث، وترش بن يافث، وماشج بن يافث، ويأجوج بن يافث وبرجان بن يافث، وماذى بن يافث وفيراس بن يافث، فولد جامر ابن يافث الصَّقالبة، وولد شويل بن يافث الأشبان وهم الأفارق وولد برجان بن يافث الإفرنج وولد ترش بن يافث الترك والخزر، وولد ماذي بن يافث همدان وبه سميت همدان، وولد فيراس بن يافث أهل خراسان، وولد ياجوج بن يافث مأجوج، وهم بشر كثير. وكان منازل الصقالبة وبرجان والإشبان وهم الأفارق بأرض الروم، وقصد كلُّ فريق من هؤلاء الثلاثة، سام وحام ويافث أرضا فسكنوها، ودفعوا غيرهم عنها.
      ...
      قال: ونزل بنو يافث الصفون مجرى الشمال، والصَبَا وأخلى الله أرضهم، فاشتد بَرْدَها، وأخلى الله سَمَاءَهم فليس يجري فوقهم شيء من النجوم السبعة الجارية، لأنهم صاروا تحت بِنَات نَعشْ والجَدْي. والفَرْقَدَيْن. وابْتُلُوا بالطاعون، فجعل الله فيهم الحُمْرَة والَّشقْرَة، وعِظَم الوجه وصِغَرَ العينين.
      Wahb ibn Munabbih said, "Japheth the son of Noah begat Gomer, Yavan, Tiras, Meshech, Gog, Tubal, Madai, and Fīrās. From Gomer came forth the Slavs, from Yavan the Spaniards (who are the North Africans), from Tubal the Franks, from Tiras the Turks and Khazars. Madai begat Hamadān, after whom Hamadān was named, and Fīrās begat the people of Khorsan, and Gog begat Magog, who are very many. The homes of the Slavs, the Yavan, and the Spaniards (the North Africans) were in the lands of the Romans. Every band out of those three (Shem, Ham, and Japheth) sought some new land, peopled it, and pushed the others away from it."
      ...
      He said, "The robust Children of Japheth settled down in the north along the eastern wind, and Allah cleared their lands till its chilliness spiked, and He cleared their skies till not one of the Seven Stars that pass around would pass above them since they became under the Little Bear and the the North Star. They were afflicted with pestilence, and Allah made whiteness and blondness among them, and also ruggedness of face and smallness of eyes."
