Article Three (Chapter One on the planning of Paris from the geographical aspect) (and the nature of its land, the temperament of its climate, and its region) Know that this city is called by the French "Bari" with the emphasized "B" which is pronounced between "F" and "Y", but this name is written "Paris" and is never pronounced with an "S" at the end, as is the custom of the French, that they write some letters and never pronounce them, especially the letter "S" at the end of some words, as it is never pronounced. For example, the city of Athens, the city of the Greeks, is written in French "Athènes" and pronounced "Athènes". Then the Arabs, Turks, and others write "Paris" or "Bres" or "Barz", and perhaps they say "Qais". I think it is more appropriate to write it with an "S", even if among non-natives it is famous to pronounce it with a "Z". Perhaps this is because the letter "S" in the French language can sometimes be read as a "Z" under certain conditions, even if it is absent here, except in the case of attribution. The attribution to Paris among the French is "Parisien". This is precisely the reason why attribution refers things back to their origins, and this rule of attribution is Arabic, and the attribution here is foreign. I have followed in some of my poems that I recited in it the writing with an "S", where I said: If you divorce Paris three times, * then this is equivalent to the union of Egypt. For each of them, in my opinion, is a bride, * but Egypt is not the daughter of disbelief. And I said: They mentioned all the suns of beauty, * and said that their rising place is in Egypt. But if you had seen her when she appeared * in Paris, you would have been remiss in mentioning.
