3. Striving for Reunion
Schools and Friendship
162.19 Then Adel established schools himself. After him, the other princes did likewise.
Every year, Adel and Ifkia went to inspect the schools. If they found among the natives and returnees students who were friendly with each other,[1] they both were very pleased. If any of the students had sworn friendship to one another, then Adel and Ifkia invited all the people to gather together and, with great pomp, had their names written in a book, which they called the “Book of Friendship”.[163] Afterwards, a feast would be held.
All these actions were taken to bind the sundered branches of Frya’s tree together again. But the maidens, who envied Adel and Ifkia, said that they did it for no other reason than to acquire a good reputation and to gradually bring other people's states under their rule.
Notes
- ↑ ‘returnees’ (UTHÉMAR) — lit.: foreigners, referring here to re-migrants from the Indus Valley (Panj-ab), Athens and the Ionian Islands.
