The texts may have been selected to bring to a Western audience, accounting for their partial nature, but not for their unfinished state. Whatever the reason for the volume being created, its wonderful drawings and paintings repay detailed study.

Then, he has two cowhides filled with arsenic ( zirnīkh), sulfur (kibrīt), oil (zayt), tar (qīr), all kinds of inflammable materials and sometimes also iron hooks (kalālīb ḥadīd, in Qazwini's edition by Wuestenfeld, 113) and gypsum (kils = lime stone) The next day, the ravenous dragon is offered this fake-food. He immediately swallows the imitation oxen, drinks water and this causes the dragon to explode.Alexander advices the people who ask him for help; the dragon is offered two cows each day, which he devours; the dragon is killed and lays down with his exploded belly.
