In later times the vizir was a black slave of Ghaleb, and much detested for his pride and despotic conduct. ❋ Unknown (2003)

Enough of my “liberal whining” (I will condescend to that description – harharhar) – and back to Sarkozy/Iznogoud (famous French comic book character from the 1960s-1970s, a scheming grand vizir who is constantly thwarted in his efforts to be “califf instead of the califf”) Apart from the ambition they actually look alike. ❋ Unknown (2007)

The vizir was at once attracted by the young man's superior air and intelligent conversation, and perceiving that he had gained much experience in the course of his travels, he said, ❋ Fredrickson, George M. (2005)

My heart sank when I perceived that the commander was the vizir who had dethroned my father, and was come to seize the kingdom of my uncle. ❋ Fredrickson, George M. (2005)

The Sultan embraced him, the envious vizir meanwhile hinting that it was the work of enchantment. ❋ Fredrickson, George M. (2005)

The vizir bowed to the ground and hastened to leave the room and tower. ❋ Fredrickson, George M. (2005)

And no sooner was his father buried and the ceremonies over that marked his accession to the throne, than the young man hastened to throw off his robes of state, and calling to his vizir to make ready likewise, stole out in the simple dress of a private citizen into the less known streets of the capital. ❋ Fredrickson, George M. (2005)

These words caused the prince to open his eyes with languid curiosity, and Marzavan seized this moment to pay him his compliments, contriving at the same time to express the condition of the Princess of China in terms unintelligible, indeed, to the Sultan and his vizir, but which left the prince in no doubt that his visitor could give him some welcome information. ❋ Fredrickson, George M. (2005)

"What had the vizir done," said the Greek king, "to merit the punishment?" ❋ Fredrickson, George M. (2005)

The Sultan was so much amused by the conversation he had overheard, that he made up his mind to gratify their wishes, and turning to the grand-vizir, he bade him note the house, and on the following morning to bring the ladies into his presence. ❋ Fredrickson, George M. (2005)

Now here it must be related that when the Caliph went upstairs with the plate of fish he ordered the vizir to hasten to the palace and bring back four slaves bearing a change of raiment, who should wait outside the pavilion till the Caliph should clap his hands. ❋ Fredrickson, George M. (2005)

"What, are you still so obstinate?" exclaimed the grand-vizir. ❋ Fredrickson, George M. (2005)

So the grand-vizir went back to the bridge; gave the blind beggar first a piece of money and then a blow, delivered the Caliph's message, and rejoined his master. ❋ Fredrickson, George M. (2005)

Schahriar, who had been listening to Scheherazade with pleasure, said to himself, "I will wait till to-morrow; I can always have her killed when I have heard the end of her story." all this time the grand-vizir was in a terrible state of anxiety. ❋ Fredrickson, George M. (2005)

The vizir who accompanies the Caliph was also a real person of the great family of the Barmecides. ❋ Fredrickson, George M. (2005)

As to the king, the Caliph contented himself with sending him back to Balsora, with the recommendation to be more careful in future in the choice of his vizir. ❋ Fredrickson, George M. (2005)

He sent for the vizir, and asked what had become of the palace. ❋ Fredrickson, George M. (2005)

At last, losing patience, he seized the vizir by the beard and loaded him with blows. ❋ Fredrickson, George M. (2005)
