Content Account of Hyde: Arabibus Mesopotamiae partes incolentibus vocatur Rez: &, ut apud alias Gentes, duplex est, viz. Rezo lThalatha, aut Rezo 'l Tis'a, propter ternarium aut novenarium numerum calculorum quem uterque Lusorum possidet, Et quando ex tribus recta linea collocatis obtinetur Series, clamandum est Rez, quasi hoc nonine significetur series, ordo. Aliis Arabibus dicitur Toban seu Tobna, AlKirk, unde Hispanorum Alquerque, de quo supra. Alias vocatur Ca'bo'lBeidar, id est Talus area, quia loco Paxillorum vel Calculorum, Talis etiam exerceri queat in quavis area." Hyde 1694: 205-206.
