   • 1993, David Wasserstein, The caliphate in the West: an Islamic political institution in the Iberian peninsula:

     […] but as one reason for this was deliberate action on the part of his ḥājibs it may not be so curious an omission as all that — Hishām goes on to explain his search, both among members of the caliphally qualified Quraysh and among members of other tribes, for a suitable candidate to succeed him.

   • 2012, A.C.S. Peacock, The Seljuks of Anatolia: Court and Society in the Medieval Middle East:

     Although there is no caliphally granted title on these coins, this, too, constitutes an expression of independence, since a malik usually only issues coins (copper and silver) of a recognisably different type: not aniconic, as these are, but bearing the image of a horse and rider.
