Note 458 — TALE OF NÚR AL-DÍN ALÍ & HIS SON BADR AL-DÍN HASAN
Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
Arab. "Khádim": lit. a servant, politely applied (like Aghá=master) to a castrato. These gentry wax furious if baldly called "Tawáshi"=Eunuch. A mauvais plaisant in Egypt used to call me The Agha because a friend had placed his wife under my charge.
