About Ferlec Marco Polo observes as follows: "This kingdom is so much frequented by the Saracen merchants that they have converted the natives to the Law of Mahomet—I mean the townspeople only, for the hill-people live for all the world like beasts, and eat human flesh, as well as all other kinds of flesh, clean or unclean. And they worship this, that and the other thing, for in fact the first thing that they see on rising in the morning, that they do worship for the rest of the day".
