وَذَلِكَ بِمُحْضَرٍ مِنِ ابْنِ الْجَوْزِيِّ وَغَيْرِهِ مِنَ الْعُلَمَاءِ،

And that took place in the presence of Ibn al-Jawzi and other scholars.

وَغَيْرِهِ and other than him

This joins a linking 'and' to a noun 'other-than', with a 'him' tag suffixed pointing back to the named scholar. The 'and' coordinates a second party — 'and others besides him' — and the suffix anchors 'besides whom'.

From An Exiled Scholar's Trials

وَلَا يَتَمَكَّنُ مِنْ خُرُوجِ إِلَى حَمَّامٍ وَلَا غَيْرِهِ،

and he was unable to go out to the bathhouse or anywhere else,

غَيْرِهِ other than it

This is the word for 'other/else' with the pronoun -hi attached. The -hi points back to the bathhouse just mentioned, so the phrase means anywhere other than it. It rounds out the 'neither the bathhouse nor anywhere else' contrast, and its genitive ending matches the noun it parallels.

From An Exiled Scholar's Trials

يَسْتَكْثِرُ قَلِيلَ الْمَعْرُوفِ مِنْ غَيْرِهِ

He regards a small kindness from other than him as excessive.

غَيْرِهِ other than him

A noun meaning 'other-than', in the genitive after its preposition, with a '-hi' (him) fused on, giving 'someone other than him'. The suffix marks the point of contrast, distinguishing other people from the man himself. So one word frames the favour as coming from anyone but him.
