Abstract
This brief note presents the correction of two terms found in Abū Rayḥān al-Bīrūnī’s Āthār al-Bāqīya. The first is the phrase malek ‛awālim al-nūr ("sovereignty of the realms of light") in al-Bīrūnī’s report on the Manichaeans, which should correctly read malik ‛awālim al-nūr ("king of the realms of light"). The second is the place name Dīnār Rāzī, mentioned as lying between Khurāsān and Gurgān, which is correctly identified as Dīnārzārī.
