Note 48 — ALI BABA AND THE FORTY THIEVES.[38]
Richard Francis Burton translation
i.e. a leader of prayer; the Pers. “Písh-namáz” = fore-prayer, see vols. ii. 203; iv. 111 and 227. Galland has “ímán,” which can mean only faith, belief, and in this blunder he is conscientiously followed by his translators—servum pecus.
