     مدام هزار کشتی در حوالی شهر بسته باشد از آن بازرگانان و نیز از آن سلطان بسیار باشد چه هرچه به کار آید همه بدین شهر باید آورد که آنجا هیچ چیز نباشد و چون جزیره‌ای است تمامت معاملات به کشتی باشد.

     mudām hazār kaštī dar hawalī-yi šahr basta bāšad az ān-i bāzargānān u nēz az ān-i sultān bisyār bāšad či harči ba kār āyad hama bad-īn šahr bāyad āwardan ki ānjā hēč čīz na-bāšad u čōn jazīra-yē ast tamāmat-i mu'āmalāt ba kaštī bāšad.

     A thousand ships are always docked in the city's environs. Both the merchants' and the sultan's ships are many. Whatever is earned must all be sent to this city, since there is nothing here and it is an island, and all the buying and selling is done by ship.
