Note 513 — KING SHAH BAKHT AND HIS WAZIR AL-RAHWAN.[295] (continued 3)
Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
Arab. “Hadas,” a word not easy to render. In grammar Lumsden renders it by “event” and the learned Captain Lockett (Miut Amil) in an awful long note (pp. 195 to 224) by “mode,” grammatical or logical. The value of his disquisition is its proving that, as the Arabs borrowed their romance from the Persians, so they took their physics and metaphysics of grammar and syntax; logic and science in general, from the Greeks.
