 To the Votaries Here I am, votaries, for the first l time asking you to come and join me in making this 8 memorable occasion. 'Tis said there is vast number of trembling tyros lurking around our gates, craving to cross the hot sands to fair Khorassan's desert, and most de- sirous to partake of the cooling waters from Fem Zem's springs.
 Therefore, all ye faithful of Aladdin temple No. 153, hearken unto my voice and assemble yourselves together early in the afternoon in order to satisfy the tyros who are clamoring for admission to our sacred portals. Bring with you the goats skin well filled with camefs s milk, and with the fez on your hat peg, for never in the history of Dokeyism has there ever been produced such 8 Sar-a-monal as will be celebrated at this big side-splitting, hair-raising and awe inspiring, two-stage, three-ring ag- gregation of mysteries.
 Let the Brigands be mobilized and Mokanna with his Outlaw Band be awakened at an early hour in order that the Royal Beasts may be properly conditioned to provide entertainment for all loyal subjects, any ou, Mahedi, carry out our royal desires
