Note 261 — ABDULLAH[232] THE FISHERMAN AND ABDULLAH THE MERMAN.
Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
I cannot find “Dandán” even in Lib. Quintus de Aquaticis Animalibus of the learned Sam. Bochart’s “Hierozoïcon” (London, 1663) and must conjecture that as “Dandán” in Persian means a tooth (vol. ii. 83) the writer applied it to a sun-fish or some such well-fanged monster of the deep.
