hagib
  22

hagib is incorrectly written, and should be written as "haajib" being its meaning:
hagib = hayibchambelan, or Chief Representative of the Amir or Caliph. In al - Andalus, the title of haajib became superior to the vizier, who was appointed. It had great power, to replace the Caliph in government functions if this was absent or demanded it. This title enjoyed such prestige that was preferred ( rather than others like malik or sultan ) some of the rulers of the Taifas in the attempt to legitimize himself in power.
