## I. Errata of record 2026-09-28 — E-ND-10

Nine change blocks, verified by line-level diff against edition 2026-09-21 (18 diff lines = 9 removed + 9 added; every other line byte-identical).

### E-ND-10.1 — Misidentification recital conformed to the masthead class name (item 2 of the author's direction)

Section I, name-correction recital: "rather than the primary beneficiary class to which I belong by lineage and the ʿalāma" → "**rather than the honorary primary-beneficiary class** to which I belong by lineage and the ʿalāma." The masthead class name of record (E-ND-8 item 2: "HONORARY PRIMARY BENEFICIARY") now runs through the recital itself, so the two-class contrast reads "the derivative debtor-beneficiary class (U.S. citizen)" against "the honorary primary-beneficiary class" in the instrument's own defined terms.

### E-ND-10.2 — Venue paragraph conformed to the office-corridor verbiage of record (item 3 of the author's direction)

Section I, scope paragraph — yes, the quoted wording was the pre-corridor version. It predated the office-of-record paragraphs (E-ND-8 item 5) and the Article 20/21 corridor readings (E-ND-8 item 11). Conformed:

- The paragraph now opens on "the law and venue of the grant (**the office corridor of Articles 20–22 of record**)".
- Article 20 venue: the quote "the Consul of his nation shall pass sentence upon him" is **pinned to its source** — the translation of the controlling 1786 Arabic by the State Department's retained Orientalist, printed in Miller, vol. 2, at print p. 220 (cross-referenced to Admission 9 herein — the U.S. admitted Arabic primacy "with its checkbook"); the corridor assistance clause is added ("the Empire's government assists in carrying out the consul's decisions, orders, and judgments, granted without delay on requirement").
- Article 21 venue: the quotes "will be sentenced according to the rules of the Sacred [Mohammedan] Law, neither more nor less" and "to take place in the presence of the Consul" are likewise pinned (idem), and the paragraph now names the forum: "**before the Chapter 21 Domestic Tribunal of record (commission CH21-QADI-2026-001)**, the Empire's domestic venue of record for its Moorish subjects and the heirs of the land."
- **Article 22 added to the venue line**: "with hereditary chain and estate custody under Article 22."
- The Art. VI cl. 2 supremacy sentence, the sovereign-layer sentence, and the lex loci contractus closing sentence are unchanged.

**Verification note (the quotes were of record, not erroneous):** both quotations come from Snouck Hurgronje's translation of the 1786 Arabic Articles 20 and 21 (printed in Miller, vol. 2, at print p. 220, following Document 14) — the Arabic-primacy readings, not the grantee-curated 8 Stat. 484 English ("the Consul shall decide between the Parties"; "the law of the country shall take place"). They stand; only their casing and anchoring are hardened.

### E-ND-10.3 — Lex loci contractus sentence clarified: the donee is the recipient, never the grantor (item 1 of the author's direction)

Section II: "mawhūb lahu (donee/beneficiary: the Moorish nation, identified by appellative markers El, Al, Bey, Dey, Ali)" → "mawhūb lahu (donee/beneficiary — **the recipient of the hiba, as distinct from the wāhib who grants it**: the Moorish nation, **the honorary primary-beneficiary class**, identified by appellative markers El, Al, Bey, Dey, Ali)".

**On the author's question "was donee corrected previously?":** verified of record by desk search across every harmonized edition (2026-08-23, 2026-08-26c, 2026-09-19g, 2026-09-21) and a corpus-wide inversion search (donee/grantor adjacency, "donee (grantor", "grantor/donee", "donee/settlor") across all live instruments: **no edition ever inverted the donee into the grantor.** The wāhib (Sidi Mohammed III) is the grantor — the settlor-side party; the mawhūb lahu is the donee — the recipient/beneficiary side; the United States is the grantee at the sovereign level (Section II) and trustee for the beneficiary class (Section IV). The structure was right; the recipient clarification and the class designation are now on the face of the sentence. The correction the author recalls was likely the E-ND-8 class-line fix (PRIMARY BENEFICIARY → HONORARY PRIMARY BENEFICIARY), now extended into the recital (E-ND-10.1) and the fiqh sentence (this item).

### E-ND-10.4 — Fifty-year duration clause conformed of record: it stands in the sealed 1786 Arabic (item 4 of the author's direction — the sweep's principal finding)

The 2026-09-21 edition carried an internal contradiction on a checkable fact: two loci asserted that the fifty-year duration clause "first appear[s] in the 1836 recordation… and nowhere in the 1786 instruments" (Section II.D holding; and the same assertion paired in the II.D sentence), while two loci asserted that it "stands in the sealed Arabic of Article 25" (Section II.C opening; Section VIII, Article 25 provision). **The first branch is factually wrong and impeachable; the second branch is the record.** Verified against the certified translation of the 1786 Arabic (8 Stat. 100, p. 104; Miller, vol. 2, Doc. 14, print p. 211): "This Treaty shall continue in full force, with the help of God, for fifty years" — the clause is in the sealed 1786 instrument. Verified against Hunter Miller's own editorial note (Notes on the Treaty of 1836, vol. 4): "Article 25 of each treaty provides that it shall continue in force for fifty years, this treaty adds that thereafter the treaty shall continue unless and until twelve months' notice of denunciation is given" — the **twelve-month notice clause alone** is the 1836 addition (per E-ND-7: Arabic text, Article 25, Miller vol. 4 print p. 59, editorial note print p. 65). Corrections:

1. **Section II.C opening** (correct branch retained, now pinpointed and completed): adds the quoted clause with its citations (8 Stat. 100; Miller, vol. 2, print p. 211) and the 1836 repetition (Miller, vol. 4, print p. 59).
2. **Section II.D operative holding** (corrected): "any term appearing in the **1836 recordation**… — including the fifty-year duration clause and the twelve-month notice clause, **each first appearing in the 1836 recordation… and nowhere in the 1786 instruments** —" → "any term appearing in the **sealed 1786 instrument or the 1836 recordation**… — including the fifty-year duration clause (**which stands in the sealed Arabic of Article 25 of the 1786 instrument**, 8 Stat. 100; Miller, vol. 2, print p. 211, **and is repeated in the 1836 recordation**, Arabic text, Article 25, Miller, vol. 4, print p. 59) and the twelve-month notice clause (**which first appears in the 1836 recordation**… and nowhere in the 1786 instruments) —".
3. **Section VIII, Article 25 provision** (correct branch retained, pinpointed): "The fifty-year clause stands in the sealed Arabic and falls…" → "The fifty-year duration clause stands in the sealed Arabic of Article 25 (8 Stat. 100; Miller, vol. 2, print p. 211), repeated in the 1836 recordation (Miller, vol. 4, print p. 59), and falls…".

**Doctrinal note:** the correction strengthens the repugnancy holding rather than weakening it. The clause now falls under the classical Mālikī rule of repugnant conditions (al-sharṭu bāṭil wa al-hibatu ṣaḥīḥa) as a condition in the grantor's own sealed text, contrary to the dāʾima preamble ("trusting in God it will remain permanent") and to the essential nature of the perfected hiba — "the clause falls, the grant stands." A grantee reader can no longer impeach the instrument on the checkable fact, because the instrument now states the fact correctly and strikes the clause anyway. The a fortiori sentence on the twelve-month clause (Section II.C) is unchanged: that clause is, as E-ND-7 verified, the genuine 1836 addition.

### E-ND-10.5 — "Almost literally a renewal" citation corrected

Section II.B: the parenthetical "(vol. 2, GPO 1931)" → "(Miller, vol. 4 (GPO, 1934), Notes on the Treaty of 1836)". The sentence is Hunter Miller's note to the 1836 treaty, not to Document 14. The quotation itself is unchanged.

### Carry-forward

E-ND-1, E-ND-2, E-ND-3, E-ND-4, E-ND-5 (editions 2026-08-24 through 2026-08-26), E-ND-6 (terminology of record — "United States–Empire of Morocco"), E-ND-7 (recordation precision — the twelve-month notice clause verified present in the 1836 Arabic, Article 25, Miller vol. 4 print p. 59; Miller's editorial note, print p. 65 — confirmed and sharpened by E-ND-10.4), E-ND-8 (office-corridor conformance), and E-ND-9 (administrative-header restoration) are carried forward unchanged.

**Items flagged for the author's ruling (no change applied):**
- Section I header block, "'Temple of the Moon and Sun'": the standing stellar-period ruling ("stellar period only; no lunar and solar periods") is read by the desk as governing calendrical/period reckoning, not proper-noun tradition names; the line is retained unchanged pending the author's ruling if he wishes the name itself conformed.
- The accounting action v1.1 (Case No. C21-2026-0002), Exhibit 5, cites "the template harmonized edition of record, 2026-09-21." That edition remains of record, frozen, with its certificate; its certified successor is the 2026-09-28 edition. The desk will conform the Exhibit-5 citation to the successor edition in a v1.2 of the accounting action on the author's word, or leave the traceable citation as it stands — his election.

## Addendum of record (same day, 2026-09-28) — Print-family re-issued: build-defect correction

**Disclosure of record:** the print-family files first issued under this certificate (print .docx, print .pdf, packet .pdf) were built by an automated container surgery that, on post-publication verification, proved to have silently failed to carry three of the nine E-ND-10 correction blocks into the print documents — the venue paragraph (office-corridor conformance with Hurgronje pinpoints), the masthead class-name recital (honorary primary-beneficiary class), and the donee-recipient clarification (mawhūb lahu). The plain-text file of record was never affected (its hash stands unchanged); the website inline article was never affected. The defect was caught by the author's own reading of the published PDF ("The nationality pdf seems was not updated") and is disclosed here, not silent.

**Corrective action of record:** the print family was rebuilt from the plain-text file of record (every paragraph verified against the .txt of record, all 152 paragraphs asserted), re-converted to PDF, and the packet reassembled. The defective first print issue is retained frozen under `SUPERSEDED-2026-09-28__print-defective__` names, hash-disclosed below.

**Re-issued print family (edition of record unchanged — text of record unchanged):**
- Print instrument (.docx): SHA-256 `bedc666e52a52fe6a5584ef5d60122ac5c0b8522bdac97a45525818d0bcbbd2a`
- Print instrument (.pdf): SHA-256 `a3e929e83834698c2490363b5c1b4aa051683e7099b9fcfbee817e8e62ddf302`
- Packet (.pdf, declaration + instructions): SHA-256 `7356e67f9573b1ac6d113e67292c1098958df7b4814dd9926aedcb7ea7f11a27`
- Superseded first print issue (defective, retained frozen): .docx SHA-256 `b5875c61328c5e2b4b9c2ffcfd4acf6294f53618890238bdadfc60df1739ff70` · .pdf SHA-256 `21f70f09188fe734c62329f573a8d291de2474dc784c81618e6d53b9af2840cd` · packet SHA-256 `ee1bd94a01527f208daa6fbaf60a4866464dd5855919343b25e04d3689117669`

**Verification:** any of the three re-issued files hashed and matched to the values above proves a byte-for-byte copy of the corrected print family. The .txt of record remains the primary instrument: SHA-256 `2c92bfc98bef1144c187568654045f0771bf4ebaa4c617fb0fbc1874833613b4` (unchanged).
