This sea is not connected with any other; and if a person wishes
to make a tour completely round it, nothing will impede him but
a few rivers which fall into it from various quarters. The waters
of this sea are bitter and dark-coloured ; its bottom is a blackish
clay, differing in this respect from the Sea of ^ Kolzum, or of

Oman, or of Pars. This Sea of Pars is of such
clear water that one may see the white stones at the bottom ; but
the waters of this Sea of Khozr are dark-coloured, and in it there
are not found any such things as pearls, or coral, or similar marine
productions. It is, however, much frequented by the ships of
merchants who traffick from one town to another; and it affords
much fishing. In this ocean there are not any inhabited islands,
as in the Sea of Fars and of Roum ; but there are many trees and
