* '''a bone, a pebble, a ramskin:''' Joseph Charles Mardrus: ''Le Koran'', 13: 'Le Prophète... retenait sans effort les versets divins... et pouvait... les dicter à ses secrétaires... Ceux-ci les inscrivaient... sur feuilles de palmier, cailloux plats, peaux et omoplates de moutons' ('The Prophet... effortlessly retained the divine verses in memory... and could... dictate them to his secretaries... Those wrote them down... on palm leaves, flat pebbles, skins and shoulder blades of sheep')
