Their hair was shaggy, their appearance wondrously beautiful. They were imprisoned for three days, and on the fourth day, a man who spoke Arabic entered and asked them about their condition, where they came from, and their homeland. They told him their whole story. He promised them good things and informed them that he was the king's translator. On the second day, they were brought before the king, who asked them the same questions the translator had asked. They told him what they had told the translator the previous day: that they had ventured into the sea to see its news and wonders and to reach its end. When the king learned this, he laughed and said to the translator, "Tell these people that my father once ordered one of his slaves to sail this sea, and they sailed its expanse for a month until the light faded from them, and they turned back without any need or benefit." The king ordered the translator to promise them good things and to treat them well. Then they were returned to their place of confinement until the strange wind began to blow. A boat was prepared for them, and their eyes widened in wonder. It sailed with them on the sea for a long time. The people estimated that they had sailed for three days and nights until they were brought to land. They were brought out and gathered behind us, and we rested on the shore until daylight and the sun rose. We were in distress and poor condition from the intensity of the heat, until we heard a commotion and the voices of people. We all cried out, and the people came to us and found us in that bad state. They untied our bonds and asked us questions. We told them our story. They were Berbers. One of them said to us, "Do you know how far it is between you and your country?" We said, "No." He said, "Between you and your country is a two-month journey." The people then said, "Alas, my place is today called Alas," which is the port at the furthest west, which we have mentioned before this. From the city of Lisbon to the city of Santarém, it is 10 miles, and the magnificence of their cities is for whoever wishes.
