Note 2 — KING VAMBA.
Reading edition
Thus they conducted the good king to the palace, and there they led him to the bath; and then they trimmed his red melena2, and arranged it so that it might not fall into his eyes; and they combed out the hair of his beard, but left it long and noble; and they put on him a royal robe with gold embroidery and an ermine collar, though he would have it sober in colour, and on his breast a blood-red cross.
