   • a. 869, الْجَاحِظ [al-jāḥiẓ], “باب معرفة الطِّيب والعِطر والروائح الطيبة [Concerning the knowledge of scents, essences and good smells]”, in حَسَن حُسْنِيّ عَبْد اَلْوَهَّاب [ḥasan ḥusniyy ʕabd al-wahhāb], editor, التَبَصُّر بِٱلتِّجَارَة [at-tabaṣṣur bi-t-tijāra]‎^[1], Windsor, UK: Hindawi Foundation, published 2021, →ISBN, page 21:

     زعموا أن خيرَ العودِ الهنديُّ المَندَليُّ الذي لا غِشَّ فيه، وكلما كان أصلب فهو أجود، وامتحان جودته بحدة أرَجِه وشدة رائحته. وزعموا أن خيرَ العودِ الهنديُّ الثقيلُ الوزنِ الذي يرسُب في الماء، وأَدْوَنَه الخفيفُ الوزنِ الذي يطفو على رأس الماء، والخفيف الوزن عندهم ميت لا روح فيه وهو ضعيف الرائحة، والثقيل الوزن منه له ذكاء وقوة أَرَج ورائحة.

     It is claimed that the best agalwood is the one from Mandal in India, which does not impose upon the buyer. The harder, the better it is. One can assess the quality by the sharpness of its redolence and strong odour. They claim that the best agalwood from India is heavy and therefore falls to the ground when in water, whereas low-quality one is light and floats on the surface of the water. And such light one they reckon dead and soulless, it has weak odour, and the heavy one boasts combustibility and strong redolency and odour.
