Emeer [noun]

Then he said: "O Emeer, the easiest place in it is this place at which ye have alighted."

And one of them answered: "I will ascend it, O Emeer, and descend and open the gate."

And the Emeer Moosa went on into the interior of the palace.

Then the king of the blacks said to the emeer: "Are ye of mankind, or of the genies?"

And the emeer said: "This is what occurred to my mind, and excellent is the advice."

The Emeer Moosa thereupon presented to the king of the blacks many presents, and gave him large gifts.

In like manner, too, the king of the blacks gave to the Emeer Moosa a present consisting of wonders of the sea.

He had his settlement near the city, and was the acknowledged emeer of the valley, taking his place at the gate as chief judge.

The Emeer Moosa then entered the gate, and with him half of the people, who bore their weapons of war.

The Emeer Moosa, when he heard these words, again wept and was admonished by what he witnessed.
