It would not be rash, to assume that some copies of the work contained additional matter taken from other Pahlavi books like the Romance of Bahram. Bahram the high priest of the city of Shapur collected, according to Hamza, more than 20 manuscripts of the Khoday-Nameh and from their divergence made out another independent recension.
There was something animal in his abstraction. Presently there came from the pot a murmur. Instantly Hamza stretched out his hand, took the pot from the brazier and the bowl of coffee from the ground, let some of the coffee slip into the water, stirred it with a silver spoon which he produced from a carefully folded square of linen, and set the pot once more on the brazier.
But now into this outer world came an intruder to break a spell, yet to heighten for the watcher at the window fascination and terror. As the fellah's voice died away, and Mrs. Armine moved, with an intention surely of flight from dangerous and inexorable hands, Hamza appeared at a short distance from her among the orange-trees.
"You don't mean to say," she at length said, "that you think anything that you suppose one of the servants Ibrahim Hamza ? I can't believe it! I could never believe it!" "Do you wish me to cure your husband?" "Of course I wish him to be cured." "Then please go now and tell him that you have asked me to stay here for the night. I don't want him to see me to-night.
Isaacson was wondering if Hamza spoke any English. He looked full of secrets, that were still and calm within him as standing water in a sequestered pool, sheltered by trees in a windless place. Starnworth, perhaps, would have understood him Starnworth who understood at least some of the secrets of the East.

About ten or twelve were proscribed, but of these several were afterwards pardoned. Even Hind, the savage slayer of Hamza, submitted, and received her pardon at Mahomet's hands.
Armine was seated by the brazier Hamza, whose face looked as if he were quite alone, with slow and almost dainty delicacy and precision proceeded with his task.
Hamza treats his materials in a spirit of much more freedom and independence than Tabari, but to us the compiling process of Tabari is far more convenient. Masudi in his "Meadows of Gold" affords us many a supplement to Tabari's narratives derived from reliable Persian sources.
Hamza was felled to the ground, and with one despairing upward thrust, easily parried by his huge assailant, he succumbed to Wahschi's spear and lay lifeless, the first martyr in the cause of Islam, which still remembers with pride his glorious end.
Yet he had never spoken of it; he did not speak of it now. But he had sung the song of Nubia. "Did you tell Ibrahim that he was to choose Hamza as my donkey-boy to-day?" she said. She was still preoccupied, still she seemed to see Hamza running beside her towards the mountains, praying among the rocks. "Yes." "Why?" "Hamza is a very good donkey-boy." In that moment Mrs.
