Note 188 — ISAAC OF MOSUL AND THE MERCHANT.

Richard Francis Burton translation

Arab. “Jauzar” = a bubalus (Antilope defessa), also called “Ayn” from the large black eyes. This bovine antelope is again termed Bakar al-Wahsh (wild cattle) or “Bos Sylvestris” (incerti generis, Forsk.). But Jauzar also signifies hart, so I render it by “Ariel” (the well-known antelope).
