Then we travelled from the aforementioned Ṣāghar to the city of Kinbāya—its name is spelled with kāf with kasra, nūn with sukūn, one-dotted bāʾ with fatḥa, alif, and yāʾ, the last letter of the alphabet, with fatḥa. It lies on an inlet of the sea, like a river valley, which ships enter, and it has ebb and flow; I saw the ships there lying grounded in the mud at low tide, and when the tide came in they floated on the water.
