Translation Notes:
3-4Jammes considers s³rt the plural of s³r. Cf. Arabic sâra (8th form) "to procure for oneself wheat or other provision from a place to be laid up in a store" and Arabic sîrat "wheat or other provision that is bought from a place to be laid up in a store". He translates "warehouse". No translation of the noun in the SD.
