Meccah and Al-Medinah. Pilgrimage i. 338 and ii. 57, used in the proverb “Sharr fi al-Haramayn” = wickedness in the two Holy Places. Footnote 394: Arab. Al-hamd (o li’llah). Footnote 395: _i.e._ play, such as the chase, or an earnest matter, such as war, etc. Footnote 396: Arab. “Mizwad,” or Mizwád = lit. provision-bag, from Zád = viaticum; afterwards called Kirbah (pron. Girbah, the popular term), and Sakl. The latter is given in the Dictionaries as Askálah = scala, échelle, stage, plank. Footnote 397: Those blood-feuds are most troublesome to the traveller, who may be delayed by them for months: and, until a peace be patched up, he will never be allowed to pass from one tribe to their enemies. A quarrel of the kind prevented my crossing Arabia from Al-Medinah to Maskat (Pilgrimage, ii. 297), and another in Africa from visiting the head of the Tanganyika Lake. In all such journeys the traveller who has to fight against Time is almost sure to lose. Footnote 398: _i.e._ his fighting-men. Footnote 399: The popular treatment of a detected horse-thief, for which see Burckhardt, Travels in Arabia (1829), and Notes on the Bedouins and Wahabys (1830). Footnote 400: Arab. “Ashírah”: see vol. vii. 121. Footnote 401: Arab. “Musáfahah”: see vol. vi. 287. Footnote 402: In the text, “To the palace of the king’s daughter.” Footnote 403: Arab. “Marj Salí’” = cleft meadow (here and below). Mr. Payne suggests that this may be a mistranscription for Marj Salí’ (with a Sád) = a treeless champaign. It appears to me a careless blunder for the Marj akhzar (green meadow) before mentioned. Footnote 404: The palace, even without especial and personal reasons, not being the place for a religious and scrupulous woman. Footnote 405: “_i.e._ those of El Aziz, who had apparently entered the city or passed through it on their way to the camp of El Abbas.” This is Mr. Payne’s suggestion. Footnote 406: Arab. “Hatif”; gen. = an ally. Footnote 407: Not wishing to touch the hand of a strange woman. Footnote 408: _i.e._ a mere passer-by, a stranger; alluding to her taunt. Footnote 409: The Bactrian or double-humped dromedary. See vol. iii. 67. Al-Mas’udi (vii. 169) calls it “Jamal fálij,” lit. = the palsy-camel. Footnote 410: _i.e._ Stars and planets. Footnote 411: _i.e._ Sang in tenor tones which are always in falsetto. Footnote 412: Arab. Tahzíb = reforming morals, amending conduct, chastening style. Footnote 413: _i.e._ so as to show only the whites, as happens to the “mesmerised.” Footnote 414: _i.e._ for love of and longing for thy youth. Footnote 415: _i.e._ leather from Al-Táif: see vol. viii. 303. The text has by mistake Tálifí. Footnote 416: _i.e._ she was at her last breath, when cured by the magic of love. Footnote 417: _i.e._ violateth my private apartment. Footnote 418:
