Note 210 — ABU KIR THE DYER AND ABU SIR THE BARBER.

Lit. “Aloes for making Nadd;” see vol. i. 310. “Eagle-wood” (the Malay Aigla and Agallochum the Sansk. Agura) gave rise to many corruptions as lignum aloes, the Portuguese Páo d’ Aguila etc. “Calamba” or “Calambak” was the finest kind. See Colonel Yule in the “Voyage of Linschoten” (vol. i. 120 and 150). Edited for the Hackluyt Soc. (1885) by my learned and most amiable friend, the late Arthur Cooke Burnell.
