The bargain was struck, after infinite wrangling, for a houlee and a jibbah, of the value of four dollars ! I did not, therefore, "sell for much," and Christians at four dollars per head in The Desert must be considered very cheap. It is said, every man has his price; I had not the honour of fixing my price. This was done for me, and I ratified the bargain.
El-Lithām اللثام is the bandage which all the Touaricks wear around the face, covering every part of it except the top of the cheek-bones and the eyes. The houlee, حولي, is the same as the heik, and the jibbah, جبّه, is a huge frock or tobe, with short sleeves, and coming up close round the neck.
