v2.c54.13

'Makran contains chiefly pasturages and fields, which cannot be irrigated on account of the deficiency of water. Between Mansura and Makran the waters from the Mihran form lakes, and the inhabitants of the country are the Indian races called Zat. Those who are near the river dwell in houses formed of reeds, like the Berbers, and eat fish and aquatic birds.... Another clan of them, who live remote from the banks, are like the Kurds, and feed on milk, cheese, and bread made of millet.'¹
