From Zaid to Zuwayla, ten days, moving south-west. We have mentioned in this part what is needed, by God's grace and support. A period has passed, and what is called the third part of the second region has been mentioned, praise be to God alone.

This is the fourth part of the second region.

It includes what remains of the land of the Outer Oases, and what is attached to it in its south, the land of Tagu, and most of the lands of al-Haffar and al-Bahrain, returning to the land of Sirriya, which we have mentioned before. It goes into the dwellings of Bani Ghallal, descending along the mountain called Jabal Galut al-Bariri. It is named so because Galut camped his army there and sought refuge with his horses and camels in this mountain, and it has been named so until now. To the east of this region are a number of Egyptian lands, similar to the Nile descending to them from the upper Nubian lands. We will describe the lands when we describe them, region by region, and view by view, mentioning what is appropriate of the famous news in them, by God's help, and the settlements that lie beyond the Nile, connected from the land of Egypt to the regions to its west and east. And the settlements that follow the dwellings of Bani Wajihina and Ghuffara to the farthest part of Upper Egypt, along with their connection to al-Alawi. Also, what follows the lower part of the region are the dwellings of al-Nahm, al-Bakhum, and al-Aband. The northern part of this region, to the west, where the rest of the Tagu land is, is all connected desert. Although there are many springs and wells, there are no inhabitants because of the flowing sand that the winds move from place to place, and no one has a stable dwelling there. The "call of the sands" is upon it, and the strong winds blow there. This is the description of this part.
