Can not create a list with MS Graph API (beta)

I try to execute the MS Graph API call described there https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/api-reference/beta/api/list_create

It is a creation of a list for a sharepoint site.

I need to create it to be able to make folders in root of my sharepoint sites using the MS graph API . My initial request and problem was described there MS graph API sharepoint site. Create a folder in root

Noone offered a solution. It looks like the only way to create folders in root of sites is to use this BETA API to create lists.

However, the API doesn't work as described in docs.

When i try to do

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/sites/{site-id}/lists
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "name": "Books",
  "columns": [
    {
      "name": "Author",
      "text": { }
    },
    {
      "name": "PageCount",
      "number": { }
    }
  ],
  "list": {
    "template": "generic"
  }
}

I have an error response with the message

Cannot define a 'name' for a list as it is assigned by the server. Instead, provide 'displayName'

If i change 'nme' to 'displayName' in the JSON document then error is "One of the provided arguments is not acceptable."

Also i tried to set

,"list":{"template":"documentLibrary"}

and still same errors

What do i do wrong? Or that BETA API just doesn't work ?
