Jether, [Yether <\\See definition 03500\\>,] is essentially the same with [YithrÆ’ <\\See definition 03501\\>,] Ithra, the latter only having the addition of an ['Aleph] {aleph;} and it is probable, that he was an Ishmaelite by birth but an Israelite by religion.

When the people of the East have no sons, they frequently marry their daughters to their slaves, even when they have much property to bestow upon them. Hassan had been the slave of Kamel, his predecessor; but Kamel, according to the custom of the country, gave him one of his daughters in marriage, and left him at his death one part of his great riches which he had amassed in the course of a long and prosperous life (Maillet, Lett. xi. p. 118).
