ABSTRACT

Cail is a great and noble city, and belongs to Ashar, the eldest of the five brother kings. It is at this city that all the ships touch that come from the west, as from Hormos and from Kis and from Aden and all Arabia, laden with horses and with other things for sale, and this brings a great concourse of people from the country round about, and so there is great business done in this city of Cail.
