Note 5 — The Destiny Prince

Reading edition

That Prince, saying, “Destiny,” being unable to arise [through sleepiness,] remained lying down. Thereupon the royal Princess, touching his body with her hand, made him arise; and having given him this food to eat, and having sprinkled distilled Attar water on his body, and having complied with immoral practice,5 the Princess went to the palace. Then the Prince who says “Destiny” was sleeping [again] near the gate of the palace.
