A rectangular chest of white wood with some red lines, known by this name in Egypt as well. Among them is what is called "al-mansus," which is a round, cut, yellow amber chest. And among them is a chest shaped like a crow, bright red, called "al-aqiq." He gave from it a mixture for two necklaces and its price was bought for three slaves. He also gave a new green turban of muslin and many sandals. These three are among the perfumes with which the women of Sudan anoint themselves. He said, "These are gifts for the women of Abyssinia." He slaughtered a sheep for us and cooked it, and they called it "nasir" in their language. We saw it, bid farewell, and mounted. There were other slaves with him, a senior one. I rode a mare, and Humayma rode, and a man rode a donkey. We set out towards a place called Abu al-Muhammad. Between the country and the place called Abu al-Muhammad is a country called al-Bisi, like a cup. It is a country similar to the countries of Upper Egypt, because it is more fertile and more prosperous, as it is inhabited by many paths and crowded with inhabitants. Its people are of the "Khar" tribe. They have many slaves, and they have horses and vast land where wells are close to water. They cultivate various vegetables and legumes such as okra, molokhia, pumpkin, eggplant, cucumber, fenugreek, and onions.
