Achmet
, an Arabian author, who is supposed to have
lived about the fourth century, and is styled the son of
Seirim, wrote a book “On the interpretation of Dreams,
according to the doctrine of the Indians, the Persians, and
the Egyptians,” which, with all its absurdities, has been
translated into Greek and Latin, and published, together
with “Artemidorus on Dreams and Chiromancy,” by M.
Rigault in Paris, 1603, 4to. The original is lost. 2
