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. - [Previous: 13.24.1](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-mt.13.24.1) - [Next: 13.24.3](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-mt.13.24.3) - [Up: 13.24](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-mt.13.24) ## Linked texts (1) - [تحفة النظار في غرائب الأمصار وعجائب الأسفار](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta.13.24.2) — Ibn Baṭṭūṭa, Arabic --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-mt.13.24.2](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-mt.13.24.2) · Pramāṇa
