Arab. “Alaykum”: addressed to a single person. This is generally explained by the “Salam” reaching the ears of Invisible Controuls, and even the Apostle. We find the words cruelly distorted in the Pentamerone of Giambattista Basile (partly translated by John E. Taylor, London: Bogue, 1848), “The Prince, coming up to the old woman heard an hundred Licasalemme,” p. 383. Footnote 113: Arab. “Al-Zalamah”; the policeman: see vol. vi. 214. Footnote 114: _i.e._ in my punishment. Footnote 115: _i.e._ on Doomsday thou shalt get thy deserts. Footnote 116: _i.e._ what I could well afford. Footnote 117: Arab. Hirfah = a trade, a guild, a corporation: here the officers of police. Footnote 118: Gen. “tip-cat” (vol. ii. 314.)

For salting the criminal’s head, however, the soldiers seize upon the nearest Jew and compel him to clean out the brain and to prepare it for what is often a long journey. Hence, according to some, the local name of the Ghetto, Al-Malláh, = the salting-ground. Footnote 120: Mr. Payne suspects that “laban,” milk, esp. artificially soured, (see vol. vi. 201) is a clerical error for “jubn” = cheese. This may be; but I follow the text as the exaggeration is greater. Footnote 121: _i.e._ in relinquishing his blood-wite for his brother. Footnote 122: The Story-teller, probably to relieve the monotony of the Constables’ histories, here returns to the original cadre. We must not forget that in the Bresl. Edit. the Nights are running on, and that the charming queen is relating the adventure of Al-Malik al-Zahir. Footnote 123: Arab. “Za’amú” = they opine, they declare; a favourite term with the Bresl. Edit. Footnote 124:
