From Granada I went to the Hill of Victory, and from that place took shipping and sailed to q Subta; then to 'Asila, then to 'Sala. I then travelled from that place by land to 'Marrakish (Morocco), which is a most beautiful city, of extensive trade and territory. One of its poets has thus described it. From this place I went to "Miknasa,* then to the palace of " Fez, and presented myself to the Commander of the Faithful, the Sultan ''Abu Anan, may God give him happiness. After this I bade him farewell, with an intention to visit 'Sudan (Nigritia), and came to "Sigilmasa, which is a very handsome city.
