So he confessed to this and the Kazis recorded his confession in legal form and taking the money from him，gave it to Zayn al-Mawasif，together with the document.Then she went away and all who saw her were confounded at her beauty and loveliness；whilst each of the Kazis looked for her committing herself to him.But，when she came to her lodging，she made ready all matters she needed and waited till night.Then she took what was light of load and weighty of worth，and setting out with her maids under cover of the murks three days with their nights fared on without stopping.Thus it was with her；but as regards the Kazis they ordered the Jew to prison.--And Shahrazad perceived the dawn of day and ceased to say her permitted say.
When it was the Eight Hundred and Sixtieth Night； She said，It hath reached me，O auspicious King，that the Kazis ordered the Jew to prison and on the morrow they looked for Zayn al-Mawasif coming to them，they and their assessors；but she presented herself not to any of them.Then said the Chief Kazi；'I wish to-day to make an excursion without the town on business there.'So he mounted his she-mule and taking his page with him；went winding about the streets of the town，searching its length and width for Zayn al-Mawasif，but never finding her.On this errand he came upon the other three Kazis，going about on the same，each deeming himself the only one to whom she had given tryst.He asked them whither they were riding and why they were going about the streets；when they told him their business；whereby he saw that their plight was as his plight and their quest as his quest.So they all four rode throughout the city；seeking her，but could hit on no trace of her and returned to their houses，sick for love，and lay down on the bed of langour.
