Then we sailed from Hīlī to the city of Jurfattan — its name is spelled with u on the j, r without vowel, a on the f, a on the doubled two-dotted t, and ending in n. Between it and Hīlī is three parasangs. There I met a jurist from the people of Baghdad, of high standing, known as al-Ṣarṣarī after a town ten miles from Baghdad on the road to Kufa, whose name is the same as that of Ṣarṣar which we have in the Maghrib. He had a brother in this city, a man of great wealth, with young children, whom he had entrusted to him in his will, and I left him preparing to take them to Baghdad.
