تحفة النظار في غرايب الامصار وعجايب الاسفار 13.37.5

13.37.5

I left Amrūhā, my absence having lasted about two months. Every day I slaughtered a cow for my companions. I left my companions behind to bring the grain assigned on ʿAzīz, with its transport at his charge, and he apportioned thirty thousand maunds among the people of the villages under his supervision, which they carried on three thousand oxen. The people of Hind carry loads only on oxen, and on them they transport their baggage on journeys; riding donkeys is a great disgrace among them. Their donkeys are small in body, and they call them lāsha. When they wish to expose someone to public shame after beating him, they mount him on a donkey!
