  A similar history is related by Mr. Bruce, as having occurred
  in Abyssinia.  Judith "surprised the rock Damo, and slew the
  whole of the princes, to the number, it is said, of about
  400;" while the infant king, Del Naad, was conveyed for safety
  to a loyal province, and afterwards restored.

  {Bachadar hammittoth,} "in a chamber of beds;" which Sir J.
  Chardin thinks does not mean a room to sleep in, but a chamber
  used as a repository for beds; for, in the East, they sleep
  upon cotton mattresses, "of which they have several in great
  houses, against they should have occasion, and a room on
  purpose for them."

  {Wyyakkoo kaph,} "they clapped the hand," which Mr. Harmer
  thinks was similar to the mode in which Oriental females
  express their respect for persons of high rank, by gently
  applying one of their hands to their mouth.  So Pitts relates,
  that in some of the towns of Barbary, the leaders of the
  sacred caravan being received with loud acclamations, "the
  very women get upon the tops of the houses to view the parade,
  or fine show, where they keep striking their four fingers on
  their lips, as fast as they can, making a joyful noise all the
