... The King of the Takrūr, Mūsā Māllī, was the first of the Takrūr kings to accomplish the pilgrima¬ge (hajj).
... It is said that he arrived (in Cairo) with four¬teen thousand slave girls (arba'at 'ashar alf jāriya) in charge of his private service. His men (aṣḥāb) went to buy girl-slaves from the Turks, the Ḥubūsh, and girl singers and robes. The price of the gold dinar dropped to six dirhams. Gamaleddin, pp. 112 - 113).
