  1. sorcerer, wizard

    Coordinate term: ساحره (sâhere)
    • c. 1126, Abū'l-Fażl Rašīd-ud-Dīn Maybudī, کشف الاسرار و عدة الابرار‎:
      ابن عباس گفت: سحره فرعون هفتاد و دو مرد بودند و چهار صد نیز گفته‌اند و هفتاد هزار گفته‌اند، وهب گفت: سی و سه هزار بودند، ابن جریح گفت: نهصد بودند. سیصد از پارس و سیصد از روم و سیصد از اسکندریه.

      Ibn ʻAbbās said: "Pharaoh's sorcerers were seventy-two men, and some have said four hundred, and some have said seventy thousand." Wahb said: "They were thirty-three thousand." Ibn Jāriḥ said: "They were nine hundred, three hundred from Persia and three hundred from Rome and three hundred from Alexandria."
