Some narratives indicate that the generally accepted account above is not complete, and add detail for which there may not be reliable sources. These include, for example, that the altercation between Batto Sfez broke out in a tavern rather than in a street, where both he and a number of Muslims were drinking.[21] Another is that after he had been executed, the Jewish community was obliged to buy back his head, which was being used as a football by Muslims.[22] Another still is that Sfez was lynched by a mob rather than executed by order of a court.[23] Some narratives also omit the detail that the origin of the altercation was the killing of a Muslim child. One source claims that the reason for the French intervention was that Sfez was a French subject.[24]
