Note 80 — GHÁNAH — Aúdaghost — Aúlíl.

“Of all people the Blacks debase themselves most in presence of their king.... When the Sultan addresses one of them, he (who is addressed) will take the garment off his back and throw dust upon his head” (Lee’s Ibn Baṭúṭah, p. 240). The ceremonial of Tomboktú (Leo, pt. VII. c. 5), and that of Ghánah (Not. et Extr. p. 644), are described in nearly the same terms.
