Legends of the conquest of Spain, Expedition of Abdalasis Against Seville and the “land of Tadmir.”, sentence 93

Nay, so high an opinion did he conceive of the subtle wisdom of this commander, that he permitted him to remain in authority over the surrounding country, on his acknowledging allegiance and engaging to pay tribute to the caliph; and all that part of Spain, comprising the beautiful provinces of Murcia and Valencia, was long after known by the Arabic name of its defender, and is still recorded in Arabian chronicles as “The land of Tadmir.”

Who acts: high opinion, opinion, Abdalasis · What happens: conceive, permit, remain, acknowledge, engage, pay · To what, where: Abdalasis, authority, allegiance, tribute, beautiful provinces, Arabian chronicles
