[Footnote 2: The first salutation may be transcribed, but
cannot be translated. It was thus that Moseilama said or
sung: -
Surge tandem itaque strenue permolenda; nam stratus tibi
thorus est. Aut in propatulo tentorio si velis, aut in
abditiore cubiculo si malis; Aut supinam te humi exporrectam
fustigabo, si velis, aut si malis manibus pedibusque nixam.
Aut si velis ejus (Priapi) gemino triente aut si malis totus
veniam. Imo, totus venito, O Apostole Dei, clamabat
foemina. Id ipsum, dicebat Moseilama, mihi quoque suggessit
Deus.
The prophetess Segjah, after the fall of her lover, returned
to idolatry; but under the reign of Moawiyah, she became a
Mussulman, and died at Bassora, (Abulfeda, Annal. vers.
Reiske, p. 63.)]
