[It seems to be intentionally indicated in the O and K, by what immediately precedes the explanation of this phrase, which explanation is أَعْطِهِ, that الخَرَاجَ is to be understood after it.]) سمرج [written without any syll. signs, and therefore probably سَمْرَجْ,] sing. of سَمَارِجُ, (TA,) which signifies Even, or plain, places [or tracts] of land.
