When it was the Nine Hundred and Eighty-second Night,
I saw all manner of tradesmen seated in their shops and men and women and children, some standing and some sitting; but they were all stone; and the stuffs were like spiders' webs. I amused myself with looking upon them, and as often as I laid hold upon a piece of stuff, it powdered in my hands like dust dispread.

...what case befel the people of this city, that they are become stones? I would have thee tell me the truth of the matter, for indeed I am admiring at this city and its citizens and that I have found none alive therein save thyself.

This sounds like a variation of an earlier story about a dead city. The princess is a novel element that likely served as the prototype for the Sleeping Beaty.
