Note 202 — TALE of ALI BIN BAKKAR and of SHAMS AL-NAHAR.

Richard Francis Burton translation

The Bul. Edit. (i. 329) and the Mac. Edit. (i. 780) give to Shams al-Nahar the greater part of Ali's answer, as is shown by the Calc. Edit. (230 et seq.) and the Bresl. Edit. (ii. 366 et seq.). Lane mentions this (ii. 74) but in his usual perfunctory way gives no paginal references to the Calc, or Bresl.; so that those who would verify the text may have the displeasure of hunting for it.
