It lives on the trees and grasses near water, and when a person comes near it, it leaps on him, and wherever it lands on his body a great deal of blood flows out! People keep lemons ready for it and squeeze them over it, so that it drops off them, and they scrape the spot where it landed with a wooden knife kept for that purpose. ### [13.100.2](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-mt.13.100.2) It is said that one of the pilgrims passed by that place and the leeches fastened onto him; he \[stayed\] impassive and did not squeeze ### [13.100.3](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-mt.13.100.3) lemon on them, so he bled to death. His name was Bābā Khūzī (with u after the dotted kh, and z), and there is a cave there named after him. ### [13.100.4](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-mt.13.100.4) Then we travelled to the Seven Caves, then to the Pass of Iskandar, then the cave of al-Iṣfahānī, a spring and an uninhabited fortress, below which is an inlet known as Ghūṭa Gāh ʿĀrifān. There is the Cave of the Orange and the Cave of the Sultan, and near it is the darwāza of the mountain, that is, its gate. ## Linked texts (1) - [تحفة النظار في غرائب الأمصار وعجائب الأسفار](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta.13.100.1) — Ibn Baṭṭūṭa, Arabic --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-mt.13.100](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-mt.13.100) · Pramāṇa
