  Arab. “Ghull,” a collar of iron or other metal, sometimes made to
  resemble the Chinese Kza or Cangue, a kind of ambulant pillory,
  serving like the old stocks which still show in England the veteris
  vestigia ruris. See Davis, “The Chinese,” i. 241. According to
  Al-Siyúti (p. 362) the Caliph Al-Mutawakkil ordered the Christians to
  wear these Ghulls round the neck, yellow head-gear and girdles, to use
  wooden stirrups and to place figures of devils before their houses.

  fetters of iron.”

  both in the Mac. and the Bul. Edits. is called “the fifth of the sons
  of Al-Abbas.” He was a good poet and a man of letters, also a fierce
  persecutor of the “Zindiks” (Al-Siyuti 278), a term especially applied
  to those who read the Zend books and adhered to Zoroastrianism,
  although afterwards applied to any heretic or atheist. He made many
  changes at Meccah and was the first who had a train of camels laden
  with snow for his refreshment along a measured road of 700 miles
  (Gibbon, chapt. lii.). He died of an accident when hunting: others say
  he was poisoned after leaving his throne to his sons Musa
