first minister to that prince; but, having incurred his displea
sure, he was, with several of the heads of the family, put to
death. The cause assigned for Jafar’s melancholy fate seems by
no means to justify a vengeance so dreadful. The Khalit (ac
cording to Khbndamlr) was fond of the company of his vazir,
and wished to have him constantly with him ; but as the etiquette
of Eastern courts could not give him admittance into the inner
apartments unless allied to the royal family, he married him to
a favourite sister called Abbasa, but with the most strict injunc
tions that they should not cohabit. Nature was however more
powerful than the Khallf’s commands; Abbasa proved w r ithchild,

of asking alms, even in the sight of the palace of her brother.
