تحفة النظار في غرايب الامصار وعجايب الاسفار 13.24.2

13.24.2

At that time a batch of captives from the infidels had arrived, and the vizier sent me ten slave-girls from it. I gave one of them to the man who brought them, and he was not satisfied with that! My companions took three young ones among them, and as for the rest, I do not know what became of them. Captives are cheap there because they are dirty and do not know the ways of town life, and trained girls are cheap too, so no one needs to buy captives.
