Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2

Arab. Mamarr al-Tujjár (passing-place of the traders) which Lane renders “A chamber within the place through which the merchants passed.” At the end of the tale (Night dcccxlv.) we find him living in a Khan and the Bresl. Edit. (see my terminal note) makes him dwell in a magazine (i.e. ground-floor store-room) of a ruined Khan.
