13.56.1

When the vizier's nephew was sent back to him, he ordered that he be killed as his companions had been. He had a slave girl whom he loved; he summoned her, fed her betel and she fed him, and he embraced her in farewell. Then he was thrown to the elephants, and his skin was flayed and stuffed with straw. When night came, the slave girl left the house and threw herself into a well there near the place where he had been killed. She was found dead the next day and taken out, and his flesh was buried with her in a single grave, which was called Qubūr ʿĀshiqān, which in their language means 'the grave of the lovers'.
