c. 1343.—“The first town of Mulaibār that we visited was *Abu-Sarūr*, which is small, situated on a great estuary, and abounding in coco-nut trees. . . Two days after our departure from that town we arrived at *Fākanūr*, which is large and situated on an estuary. One sees there an abundance of sugar-cane, such as has no equal in that country.”—*Ibn Batuta*, iv. 77-78.
