  The tale is not in the Bresl. Edit.

Footnote 299:

  Al-Khasíb (= the fruitful) was the son of ’Abd al-Hamíd and intendant
  of the tribute of Egypt under Harun al-Rashid, but neither Lord nor
  Sultan. Lane (iii. 669) quotes three couplets in his honour by Abu
  Nowás from p. 119 of “Elmacini (Al-Makín) Historia Saracenica.”

  If our camel visit not the land of Al-Khasib, what man after Al-Khasib
     shall they visit?
  For generosity is not his neighbour; nor hath it sojourned near him;
     but generosity goeth wherever he goeth:
  He is a man who purchaseth praise with his wealth, and who knoweth
     that the periods of Fortune revolve.

Footnote 300:

  The old story “Alà júdi-k” = upon thy generosity, which means at least
  ten times the price.

Footnote 301:

  _i.e._ The distance is enormous.

Footnote 302:

  A gazelle; but here the slave-girl’s name.

Footnote 303:

  See vol. ii. 104. Herklots (Pl. vii. fig. 2) illustrates the cloth
  used in playing the Indian game, Pachísí. The “board” is rather
  European than Oriental, but it has of late years spread far and wide,
  especially the backgammon board.

Footnote 304:

  _i.e._ “Father of the Lion.”

Footnote 305:

  Or as we should say, “Thy blood will be on thine own head.”

Footnote 306:

  Called after the famous town in Persian Mesopotamia which however is
  spelt with the lesser aspirate. See p. 144. The Geographical works of
  Sádik-i-Ispaháni, London; Oriental Transl. Fund, 1882. Hamdan (with
  the greater aspirate) and Hamdun mean only the member masculine, which
  may be a delicate piece of chaff for the gallery.
