## Reissue Errata and Certificate — Edition 2026-10-27 (Plain-Text File of Record)

**Empire of Morocco · Instruments of the North Gate**  
**Edition of record:** Nationality-Declaration-TEMPLATE-HARMONIZED-2026-10-27  
**Supersedes:** edition 2026-09-28e (retained frozen, unaltered, hash-disclosed below)  
**Reissue model:** certified re-issue — corrections are applied to a new edition of the file of record; the superseded edition is retained frozen, never silently edited. This certificate discloses every change.  
**Review of record:** instruments.html article-claim and pinpoint alignment review, 2026-10-27; source plate `dor/DOR-AF.pdf`, PDF 37–40 (= Hunter Miller, vol. 2, prints 220–223), especially PDF 40 / print 223.

## E-ND-15 — Miller pinpoint correction and two-sides register conformance

### 1. The pinpoint correction

Section I formerly attributed the Article 20 quotation “the Consul of his nation shall pass sentence upon him” to Miller, vol. 2, print p. 220. The quotation stands on **print p. 223** (DOR-AF PDF 40). Print 220 opens Snouck Hurgronje’s comments and gives the seal discussion and preamble specimen; the Article 20 comment begins at the foot of print 222 and the quoted sentence stands at the top of print 223.

The same print 223 carries the two Article 21 quotations used in Section I: “according to the rules of the Sacred [Mohammedan] Law, neither more nor less” and “to take place in the presence of the Consul.” The parenthetical “(idem)” is therefore correct once the parent pinpoint is corrected to print 223.

**Applied change:** `at print p. 220; Admission 9 herein` → `at print p. 223; Admission 9 herein`. No quoted word changes. The 1786 carried English remains a separate audit object and is not confused with Snouck Hurgronje’s later literal translation.

### 2. The office-voice conformance

The author’s standing register ruling renders the Article 20 office-voice phrase as **“between the two sides,”** not “between the parties,” because “parties” can import a bilateral implication into a unilateral instrument. The instruments page already carried that ruling; edition 2026-09-28e of the downloadable family still carried “between the parties” at three loci.

**Applied change:** `decides between the parties` → `decides between the two sides` at exactly three loci: Section I’s venue paragraph, Section I’s office-of-record paragraph, and Section VIII’s Article 20 paragraph. Carried English inside quotation remains verbatim, including any historical use of “Parties.”

### 3. Nothing else changes

The edition identifier and supersession recital advance to disclose E-ND-15 and carry forward E-ND-1 through E-ND-14, including the E-ND-13 withdrawal disclosure. The Arabic readings, English quotations, venue allocation, Article 25 fifty-year and twelve-month-notice statements, execution fields, attestations, instructions, and every other operative term stand untouched.

The prior edition 2026-09-28e and all earlier editions remain frozen. The author’s personal execution copy is not part of this public-template reissue and has not been altered.

## Conformance and verification

- Plain-text diff: edition line, supersession recital, one operative pinpoint, and three office-voice phrases only.
- DOCX: baseline-scoped semantic comparison passed; standalone OOXML/XSD and semantic validation passed. The only body-text changes are the four operative replacements. Nine editor-only paragraph IDs used by the editing workspace were removed from headers/footers; no header/footer text or formatting changed. Five pre-existing literal-bullet warnings remain non-blocking.
- Declaration PDF: 12 pages, matching the prior edition. Normalized extracted text equals the prior PDF with exactly the four intended operative replacements and no other change.
- Packet PDF: 14 pages — the 12-page declaration followed by the unchanged 2-page Instructions for Use, edition 2026-08-26.
- Visual inspection: every declaration and packet page rendered; no blank-page or content warnings, clipping, or unexplained loss. The independent Word preview likewise showed no near-blank page; its sole content-loss notice concerned only separator endnotes, not instrument text.
- Site conformance: `instruments.html` and `tribunal.html` advance the edition, download links, hashes, and errata chain. The complete tree is pinned by `MANIFEST-ND15-2026-10-27e-sha256.txt`.
