[Footnote 428: Fr. "... l'aimable." Lit. "by a way or means" (bi-terikeh). It may be we should read bi [hatheti'll] terikeh, "by [this] means;" but the rendering in the text seems the more probable one, the Sultan meaning that he would thus get rid of Alaeddin's importunity by practice, without open breach of faith or violence.]
