Note 013
Qui carnibus camelorum vesci solent odii
tenaces sunt, was the opinion of an Arabian physician,
(Pocock, Specimen, p. 88.) Mahomet himself, who was fond of
milk, prefers the cow, and does not even mention the camel;
but the diet of Mecca and Medina was already more luxurious,
(Gagnier Vie de Mahomet, tom. iii. p. 404.)]
