Several notes show that the codex which he transcribed was a very ancient one.

"Mr. Spiro modestly calls the book a vocabulary'; but it may well claim the title of a dictionary, as it contains most of the words which the speaker of Egyptian Arabic is likely to hear. "What makes the book so peculiarly valuable are the numerous idioms and slang phrases included in it which will be looked for in vain elsewhere. They are, nevertheless, of the very essence of the colloquial language, and in dealing with the fellahin, an ignorance of them is a constant source of misunderstanding. "The usefulness of the book is further increased by the lists of weights and measures, civil and military grades, &c., which are prefixed to it."-A. H. SAYCE.
