unable to overtake him, and soon lost sight of him.  He returned to the shop dressed as usual before the arrival of the tailor, who related to him what had happened, of which he pretended to be entirely ignorant.  There was a great mourning at the court; but three months afterwards, fresh robes were ordered for the wedding of the second prince.  The fairies were confirmed in their suspicions when they saw the fresh clothes [which Badialzaman sent them].

On the wedding day they again assembled to throw the jarid.  Prince Badialzaman now presented himself on the white horse, robed in white, and with pearls and jewels to match, and again he attracted general admiration.  He pushed himself into the midst of a guard of eight hundred horsemen, and slew Gaiath Eddin.  They rushed upon him, and he allowed himself to be carried before the Sultan, who recognised him [and pronounced his decision].  “A brother who has been abandoned to die by his brothers has a right to kill them.”

After this, Prince Badialzaman espoused the youngest princess, and the two others were given in marriage to two princes who were related to the Sultan.
