Travels in Nubia

Note note 37 — APPENDIX. No. III.

Reading edition

(37.) هذا عرش فُلان, may mean “this is the tent covering, or the tent pole, or the panoply, of such a man.” In one of the MSS. it is written عرس; which would mean, “this is the wedding of such a one.” But the allusion to the tent is preferable, because it was therein that the guest was defrauded or ill treated.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
