“The king of Zabag is named the Maharaja. The Maharaja gathers each day a revenue of 200 mann of gold. He has this gold made into a single brick and throws it into the water saying; Look this is my treasury. Part of this revenue, say 50 mann a day, he gets from cock fights. one of the legs of the victorious cock belongs by right to the king and the owner buys it back for gold.”
