Many thanks to Kambiz Eslami of Princeton University Library, who looked up
the Persian translation of Ali and Nino and said that it agreed with my
idea that "Sectarians" means Shiites:
>"That's what the Iranian translator has understood ("sih danish amuz-i
>Musalman-i Shii mazhab"). He has also translated the "Mohammedans" as
>"Muslaman-i Sunni mazhab.""
