	The territory of the Zanj covers a very wide area. All their crops, such as dhurra, which is their basic food, sugar cane and other trees, are black. Their kings fight against each other. (In the courts of) their kings (there are) some men called "''mukhazzamūn''" (those who have pierced nostrils). Their noses are pierced and they wear a ring in the holes; a chain is attached to the ring. Whenever there is a war, they go forward; then a man holds the end of each chain and pulls it to prevent anyone (of the "mukhazzamūn") from going ahead. (Reinaud, pp. 131, 132).
