Note 227 — THE ADVENTURES OF MERCURY ALI OF CAIRO.[214]
Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
Arab. Ghandúr for which the Dictionaries give only “fat, thick.” It applies in Arabia especially to a Harámi, brigand or freebooter, most honourable of professions, slain in foray or fray, opposed to “Fatís” or carrion (the corps crévé of the Klephts), the man who dies the straw-death. Pilgrimage iii. 66.
