Overview
Balinas the sage, of the people of Tuwana in the lands of the Byzantines. Ibn al-Nadim says that it is said he was the first to introduce speech on talismans. 2
He says that his book on the talismans he made for his city and for the kingdoms of the kings is well known and famous. 2
The phrase "it is said" marks doubt in the source itself. The rest needs an additional source.
