cadi

The Cadi, though feeling his dignity offended, was obliged to put a good face on the matter.

She complied, and the cadi besought her to lay her hands on his head, that he might have hopes of his wound being healed.

The man immediately went and laid his complaint before the Cadi, who ordered the banker to be brought before him.

Impressed, the Cadi dismissed him, and would have laden him with silver, but the Dervish refused and went his rhapsodical way.
