 by the way ... 
while my translator provides translations for all requests
the ricassos of my two "magdalis" although written in  Arabic alphabet
are still not translated    
 
because it is not Arabic language, dialect used must be "Druze"
but in the specific case of this dagger who important to us
this is "an extract from Holy Koran, it is (MUST) in Arabic
actually, I share your point of view; 
- the written language is not always a proof of origin, just an index
therefore, it is not the language that influenced me
