	As I entered Miṣr, on seeing that great river with (fresh) water which they call 'Nile', I asked: 'Where does it come from?' They said: 'Its sources are in a country belonging to the Zanj.' I asked: 'From what direction?’ They said: 'From a great town called Aswān, '''[p. 144]''' which lies on the borders of the land of the Blacks (''as-sūdān''). Then, I followed the bank of the Nile upstream, going from a district to the next one. I begged my food from the natives, who always gave me something. This became my habit. At last, I fell among a people of Blacks who ill-treated me, put me in irons and forced me to carry burdens heavier than what I could take. I ran away until I arrived among a people who seized and sold me. Again I escaped and continued doing so from the time of my departure from Miṣr until I arrived at a certain place near the country of the Zanj. There I disguised myself and hid. ...
