he
senate condemned him to be strangled, and his remains, being treated
with the grossest insolence, were kicked into the Tiber, A.D. 31. This
was the subject of Ben Jonson's first historical play, entitled
_Sejanus_ (1603).

=Sejjin= or =Sejn=, the record of all evil deeds, whether by men or the
genii, kept by the recording angel. It also means that dungeon beneath
the seventh earth, where Eblis and his companions are confined.

Verily, the register of the deeds of the wicked is surely in
Sejjin.--Sale, _Al Kor[^a]n_, lxxxiii.

=Selby= (_Captain_), an officer in the guards.--Sir W. Scott, _Peveril of
the Peak_ (time, Charles II.).

=Self-Admiration Society= (_The_). _Poets_: Morris, Rosetti and Swinburne.
_Painters_: Brown, Mudon, Whistler and some others.

=Selim=, son of Abdallah, who was murdered by his brother, Giaffir (pacha
of Aby'dos). After the death of his brother, Giaffir (2 _syl._) took
Selim under his charge and brought him up, but treated him with
considerable cruelty. Giaffir had a daughter named Zuleika (3 _syl._),
with whom Selim fell in love; but Zuleika thought he was her brother. As
soon as Giaffir discovered the attachment of the two cousins for each
other, he informed his daughter that he intended her to marry Osmyn Bey;
but Zuleika eloped with Selim, the pacha pursued them, Selim was shot,
Zuleika killed herself, and Giaffir was left childless and
alone.--Byron, _Bride of Abydos_ (1813).

_Selim_, son of Acbar. Jehanguire was called Selim before his accession
to the throne. He married Nourmahal, the "Light of the Haram," but a
coolness rose up between them. One night Nourmahal entered the sultan's
banquet-room as a lute-player, and so charmed young Selim that he
exclaimed, "If Nourmahal had so sung, I could have forgiven her!" It was
enough. Nourmahal threw off her disguise, and became reconciled to her
husband.--T. Moore, _Lalla Rookh_ ("Light of the Haram," 1817).

_Selim_, son of the Moorish king of Algiers. [Horush] Barbarossa, the
Greek renegade, having made himself master of Algiers, slew the reigning
king, but Selim escaped. After the lapse of seven years, he returned
under the assumed name of Achmet, and headed an uprising of the Moors.
The insurgents succeeded, Barbarossa was slain, the widowed Queen
Zaph[=i]ra was restored to her husband's throne, and Selim, her son,
married Ir[=e]n[^e], daughter of Barbarossa.--J. Brown, _Barbarossa_ (1742
or 1755).
