  On the practice of purchasing wives, De La Roque says,
  "Properly speaking, a young man who would marry must purchase
  his wife; and fathers among the Arabs are never so happy as
  when they have many daughters.  They form part of the riches
  of the house.  Accordingly, when a young man would treat with
  a person whose daughter he is inclined to marry, he says to
  him, 'Will you give me your daughter for fifty sheep, for six
  camels, or for a dozen cows?' according to the rank of her
  family, and the circumstances of him who desires to marry
  her."

  In thus falling into this measure, the Shechemites must either
  have had great affection for their chief and his son, or have
  been under the influence of the most passive obedience.  The
  petty princes of Asia have always been absolute and despotic;
  their subjects paying them the most prompt and blind
  obedience.  The following instance will sufficiently
  illustrate and confirm this statement:  Abu Thaher, chief of
  the Carmathians, about the year 930, with only 500 horse, went
  to lay siege to Bagdad:  the khalif's general marched out to
  seize him; but before the attack, sent an officer to summon
  him to surrender.  'How many men has the khalif's general?'
  said Abu Thaher; '30,000,' replied the officer.  'Among them
  all,' says the Carmathian chief, 'has he got three like mine?'
  Then ordering his followers to approach, he commanded one to
  stab himself, another to throw himself from a precipice, and a
  third to plunge into the Tigris:  all three instantly obeyed,
  and perished!  Then turning to the officer, he said, 'He who
  has such troops need not value the number of his enemies!'
