In his suffering he confessed that he had been to the tent of the brethren and received from one of them the jewel which was found upon him, as a bribe to bring the princess to a certain garden outside the camp.

But he named the wrong garden.

Further, when they asked which of the brethren it was who bribed him, he said he did not know, as their voices were alike, and their tent was in darkness; moreover, that he believed there was only one man in it--at least he heard or saw no other.

He added that he was summoned to the tent by an Arab man whom he had never seen before, but who told him that if he wished for what he most desired and good fortune, he was to be there at a certain hour after sunset.

Then he fainted, and was put back in prison till the morning by the command of Saladin.
When the morning came Abdullah was dead, who desired no more torments with doom at the end of them, having made shift to strangle himself with his robe.
