The following passage incidentally mentions the cadastral situation of the part of Nubia subject to Egypt about the year 1310 A.D., under al-Malik an-Nāṣir Ibn Qalāwūn.
"The Nūba country. Its [agricultural] area is 1930 feddans, the revenue of which is used to feed the soldiers; 160 feddans, the revenue of which is estimated at about 6413 dinars, belong to the nomad Arabs (al-‘Urbān) and to the Waqf, [also] for the supply of the army."
