Full Definition
فَاثُورٌ
A [basin such as is termed] طَسْت; thus it means with the vulgar: or a
طَسْت
of gold, or of silver: or the طَسْتَخَان, or طَشْتَخَان, [i. e. a large circular tray, of brass or other metal, which serves as a table for food, being generally placed upon a stool, the persons who eat sitting on the floor]; thus it means with the vulgar: or a
خِوَان [or table upon which food is eaten], made of marble, by the people of Syria, who thus call it, or of silver, and the like, or of gold: or of any kind accord. to some: or a
جَام [q. v.] of silver, or of gold: [but this seems to be virtually a repetition; for it is said that]
فَاثُورِيَّةٌ , occurring in a verse of Lebeed, means أَخْوِنَةٌ [pl. of pauc. of خِوَانٌ] and جَامَاتٌ [which is pl. of جَامٌ accord. to IAar, or of جَامَةٌ accord. to IB, who holds جَامٌ to be likewise a pl. of جَامَةٌ]: فَاثُورٌ is a word of the people of Syria and ElJezeereh: and it signifies in the dial. of the people of El-Jezeereh, a
مَائِدَة [sometimes meaning table in an absolute sense, but properly one with food upon it]: [hence,] one says, هُمْ عَلَى فَاثُورٍ وَاحِدٍ i. e. عَلَى مَائِدَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ, and مَنْزِلَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ, and بَسَاطٍ
وَاحِدٍ, (O, TA, [in both of which the former word is without any vowel-sign to the ب so that it may be either بَسَاطٍ or بِسَاطٍ,]) or بَسْطٍ واحدٍ, or as though meaning على بساطٍ
واحدٍ, thus expl. by Lth, as said of the people of Syria and El-Jezeereh: [it means, app., They are living upon one kind of fare; upon one footing; upon one level or stratum:] in the copies of the K, [or in the generality of the copies thereof,] الفَاثُورُ is expl. as signifying المَنْزِلَةُ and النَّشَاطُ; but النشاط is a mistake for البساط. (TA. [My MS. copy of the K has the right reading (البساط), without any trace of alteration.])
