Note 419 — THE HISTORY OF ABU NIYYAH AND ABU NIYYATAYN.[394]
Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
The MS. breaks off abruptly at this sentence and evidently lacks finish. Scott (vi. 228) adds, “The young princes were acknowledged and the good Abou Neeut had the satisfaction of seeing them grow up to follow his example.”
In the MS. this tale is followed by a “Story of his own Adventures related by a connection to an Emir of Egypt.” I have omitted it because it is a somewhat fade replica of “The Lovers of the Banú Ozrah” (vol. vii. 117; Lane iii. 247).
