Note 82 — KING JALI’AD OF HIND AND HIS WAZIR SHIMAS; FOLLOWED BY THE HISTORY OF KING WIRD KHAN, SON OF KING JALI’AD, WITH HIS WOMEN AND WAZIRS.[55]

Arab. “Maghrib” (or in full Maghrib al-Aksá) lit. = the Land of the setting sun for whose relation to “Mauritania” see vol. vii. 220. It is almost synonymous with “Al-Gharb” = the West whence Portugal borrowed the two Algarves, one being in Southern Europe and the other over the straits about Tangier-Ceuta; fronting Spanish Trafalgar, i.e. Taraf al-Gharb, the edge of the West. I have noted (Pilgrimage i. 9) the late Captain Peel’s mis-translation “Cape of Laurels” (Al-Ghár).
