_ 236 _ And on Wednesday, well on in the day, we struck camp, and a little after midday, we arrived in a large place, well situated, called Bag, standing to the east-northeast of the road, near a stream of very good water, and surrounded by many gardens, vineyards and orchards with plentiful fruit. Here I bought fourteen splendid nuts, fresh and very excellent, with shells as thin as paper, which could be bitten into with the teeth, and sixty peaches, almost as large as our melacotoon kind of peach, and with the same colour and taste, for a damasin. It is peopled by Persian Moors like the ones before, and they live in the same manner. We had been travelling on these days towards north-north-east, and we were here on the Thursday night. On the Friday well on in the day we left, and travelling for the rest of it the day, we camped at an hour before sunset at another place called Jangan, situated to the west-southwest of the road, with quite a large population of the same people and the same [way of] life. The women were rather more rustic than those before. The houses were very bad, made of mud, most of them below ground, like hovels. They were well-supplied with fruit, and there was a channel of very good abundant water at the entrance to the place, and a small castle made of wattle and daub.
