Note 26 — HISTORY OF KHWAJAH HASAN AL-HABBAL.[21]
Richard Francis Burton translation
Galland has “un morceau de plomb,” which in the Hindi text becomes “Shíshah-ká-paysá” = a (pice) small coin of glass: the translator also terms it a “Faddah,” for which see Nusf (alias “Nuss”), vols. ii. 37; vi. 214 and ix. 139, 167. Glass tokens, by way of coins, were until late years made at Hebron, in Southern Syria.
