ABSTRACT
PROCEEDING yet further and leaving the town of Mailapur there is on the coast another City belonging to the King of Narsyngua, inhabited by both Moors and Heathen, great traders. It has a very fair sea-haven whither resort ships of the Moors in great numbers conveying goods of divers kinds. By land also from the Narsyngua kingdom come many traders to buy goods of many kinds, for which reason they bring hither from Peeguu, of which I will speak below, great store of rubies and spinels, and abundance of musk [which precious stones are good cheap here, for him who knows how to buy and to choose them].
