	\|In the region of the sky surrounded by this constellation (referring to the constellation of Auriga), along with the head of the Great Bear, Polaris, and the constellation Cassiopeia, there is an area with no bright star, nor any reported by Ptolemy except for the two at the head of Auriga. This area contains countless stars, densely packed together. In its center are stars of fifth and sixth magnitude, the Tent because they resemble the shape of a (الخِِبََاءُُ) which the Arabs call al-Ḫibāʾ tent.

	Kunitzsch writes about this (''Untersuchungen'', 70) :<blockquote>Ṣūfī 91, 16-17 rechnet zu diesen ''al''-''ḫibā’'' genannten Sternen die schwachen von Ptolemäus nicht beschriebenen Sterne des ~~modernes~~ Bildes Giraffe sowie auch den 1. und 2.

	Schjellerup had added some stars in [[Camelopardalis]], but Laffitte (2025)<ref name=":0" /> argues that they are too far north: <blockquote>Ibn Qutayba gives ''δ, ξ Aur''. Based on al-Ṣūfī's description, Schjellerup adds ''2 Lyn +α, β Cam''. But, as Ibn Qutayba points out that the figure begins under ''Awlād al-Ẓibā’'', this means that it includes ''α Lyn''. One can reasonably remove from Schjellerup’s list ''α,β Cam'', which are too far away, and add the brightest stars that connect ''2 Lyn'' to ''α Lyn''. </blockquote><blockquote>There is also confusion in Ibn Qutayba, who places this figure under the one that he places under Station XIV and which he calls ''al-Ḫibā’ al-Yamānī'', “the Yemeni” or “the Southern”. The one we are talking about, which is northern, should reasonably be called ''al-Ḥibā’ al-Šāmiyya'', “the Syrian,” ''i.e.'' “the Northern”. </blockquote>		Schjellerup had added some stars in [[Camelopardalis]], but Laffitte (2025)<ref name=":0" /> argues that they are too far north: <blockquote>Ibn Qutayba gives ''δ, ξ Aur''.
