An article on Wednesday about the arraignment of Najibullah Zazi, an Afghan immigrant, on terrorism conspiracy charges misstated the date of an entry in a notebook that was photographed by F.B.I. agents searching a Queens apartment where Mr. Zazi spent the night of Sept. 10. The entry, which recorded a $2,000 debt owed to Mr. Zazi by a tenant of the apartment, was dated Sept. 30, 2007  not Sept. 20, 2007.

Because of an editing error, an obituary on Sept. 24 about Ertugrul Osman, a descendant of Turkish royalty, misstated the length of time his second wife, Zeynep, lived with him in a Manhattan apartment and misstated the ownership of 12 dogs that lived there at one time. Ms. Osman has lived there since the couple married in 1991, not “for the last 64 years.” (Mr. Osman had lived in the apartment for that length of time.) And the dogs were owned by Mr. Osman, not by the two of them.
