In this place are some of the greatest merchants of Persia and Yemen. Ginger and black pepper are here in great abundance. The king of this place is the greatest of the kings of Malabar, and in it are about four thousand Mohammedan merchants. The king made us land, and sent us a present. We next came to the town of Hili, which is large and situated upon an estuary of the sea. As far as this place come the ships of China, but they do not go beyond it ; nor do they enter any harbour, except that of this place, of Kalikut, and of Kawlam. The city of Hili is much revered both by the Mohammedans and infidels, on account of a mosque, the source of light and of blessings, which is found in it. To this seafaring persons make and pay their vows, whence its treasury is derived, which is placed under the control of the principal Moslem. The mosque maintains a preacher, and has within it several students, as well as readers of the Koran, and persons who teach writing. We next arrived at the city of Jurkannan, the king of which is one of the greatest on these coasts. We next came to Dadkannan, which is a large city abounding with gardens, and situated upon a mouth of the sea. In this are found the betel leaf and nut, the cocoa-nut and colocassia. Without the city is a large pond for retaining water; > — Samuel Lee 1829, The Travels of Ibn Batūta - [Previous: 13.68.3](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta.13.68.3) - [Next: 13.69.2](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta.13.69.2) - [Up: 13.68](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta.13.68) ## Translations (2) - [The Travels of Ibn Batūta](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-lee.18.2) — Samuel Lee 1829, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-mt.13.68.4) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta.13.68.4](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta.13.68.4) · Pramāṇa
