  We address a number of misunderstandings and misstatements contained in the
paper ``Roles of SNIa and SNII in ICM Enrichment'' by Y. Ishimaru and N.
Arimoto with regard to the papers by Mushotzky et al. (1996, ApJ, 466, 686) and
Loewenstein and Mushotzky (1996, ApJ, 466, 695). In particular, we emphasize
that comparison between observations and models in these papers were made
self-consistently assuming a particular (photospheric) value for the solar iron
abundance. We also briefly revisit the question of the contribution of Type Ia
supernovae to the iron enrichment of the intracluster medium.
