Through the midst of the city [Baghdad] flows a very
large river, by which travellers may go to the Indian Sea.
By this route merchants come and go with their
merchandise. You should know that from Baghdad to the
sea is a journey of fully eighteen days. Merchants
travelling to India follow this river to a city called Kais,
where they enter the Indian Sea. On the river between
Baghdad and Kais there is a large city named Basra; and
in groves all around Basra grow the best dates in the
world.
