Note 2 — Chapter I · THE CAVERNS OF SELEUCIA
R. Nisbet (Robert Nisbet) Bain translation
The orders of Erdbuhár and Nimetullahita are the severest of all the Turkish religious fraternities: the former fast so rigorously twice a week that they do not even swallow their saliva; the latter observe the fast only during their year of probation, after which they are free to return to the joys of this world.
