Beating his chest and brow with grief and dismay, the Slave trader groans and grumbles in Arabic...

Laenatan w jadri ealaa al'uwrubiyiyn allaeina! Laqad damarni!

Arabic:
A curse and a pox upon you damned Europeans! You've ruined me!

Having counted on making five or six times what he ended up with, the trader is clearly upset!


Bernardo Machiavelli wrote:

Walks up the slave Merchant.

"sayidi sayidi ladayh risalat lak nafham hadhih 'aw la kalamati walakun lah.
laqad kalafni 'an 'aqul. 'ant 'iibn jamal watifl min einzta. aleubid kunt fi alsadr lak fi almarat al'akhirat hayth poxed , watuufiy fi ghdwn 'usbue. lys faqat 'anahum 'usibuu bialhayawanat baladi mae alwaba' wakuluhum laquu hatafahum.

He says this so that all can hear, then leaves, walking past the others he whispers.

"I would suppect you can buy and free the slaves very cheaply now"

The googling eyes and jaws dropped in astonished outrage at Machiavelli's cunning declaration are priceless! Immediately, a rumbling of laughter and gasps of shock and amusement ripples through the gathered crowd.

The crowd of Egyptians begins to thin around the stage where the slave auction is being held...


A rotund Arab wearing a turban and white robe serves as auction master, calling out loudly in Arabic as he gesticulates grandly and boasts of the fine condition of the fifteen slaves lined up on the stage behind him...

Tueal waleurud ealaa hula' aleubayd alafarq! Ln tajid ebydana 'afdal fi kl 'iifriqia! Laqad tama kasruha min qibal sawt, waealaa alrghm min sihat waqawiat, fahi mutye!

Arabic:
Come and bid on these fine African slaves! You will find no better slaves in all of Africa! Though healthy and strong, they have been broken by the whip, and are completely obedient!
