Note 5 — THE HISTORY OF THE KING’S SON OF SIND AND THE LADY FATIMAH.[3]
Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
In the text “Sahríj”; hence the “Chafariz” (fountain) of Portugal, which I derived (Highlands of the Brazil, i. 46) from “Sakáríj.” It is a “Moghrabin” word = fonte, a fountain, preserved in the Brazil and derided in the mother country, where a New World village is described as
——Chafariz,
Joam Antam e a Matriz:
which may be roughly rendered
——Parish church,
Pump on the Green and Johnny Birch.
