This province abounds in good horses, called Turki, also in large hairy camels; and it has many good fruits, the equal of those of Europe. It is very cold there; the people are fair, and they eat at tables like in Europe. They allow no black men to sit down with them, and call them gullum (ghulam)—that is, 'slaves.' The traders of India go to this province to buy beavers (castors) and the skins of those beasts, musk, zedoar, and rubies. These things are brought there from the countries of Badakhshan and Balkh, and from neighbouring lands. Although this province yields little revenue, it has a garrison of sixty thousand horse. The reason is that it is near the kingdom of Persia, that of the king of \[omitted\], and the Pathans. The capital town is situated at thirty-six degrees twenty minutes of latitude, and one hundred and thirteen degrees fifty minutes of longitude.
