In speaking of Miṣr, it is in the first place necessary to define exactly what it is meant to include, as the name has been used at different periods with different meanings. Miṣr here denotes the southern half of the Arab capital of Egypt, as opposed to the northern one. For its application to this part of Cairo we have the authority of El Maqrîzî, but it must be borne in mind that this author does not always adhere to his own definition, and frequently uses Miṣr in a limited sense also. In order to avoid confusion the town to which the name Miṣr in this restricted sense is given will here be distinguished as Fusṭâṭ.
