| Back | By the best of my calculation, that place where I now was must be that country which, lying between the Emperor of Morocco’s dominions and the negroes, lies waste and uninhabited, except by wild beasts; the negroes having abandoned it and gone farther south for fear of the Moors, and the Moors not thinking it worth inhabiting by reason of its barrenness; and indeed, both forsaking it because of the prodigious number of tigers, lions, leopards, and other furious creatures which harbour there; so that the Moors use it for their hunting only, where they go like an army, two or three thousand men at a time; and indeed for near a hundred miles together upon this coast we saw nothing but a waste, uninhabited country by day, and heard nothing but howlings and roaring of wild beasts by night. |

| Front | Según mis cálculos más exactos, el lugar en el que nos encontrábamos debía estar en la región que colindaba con los dominios del emperador de Marruecos y los inhóspitos dominios de los negros, donde solo habitaban las bestias salvajes; una región abandonada por los negros, que se trasladaron al sur por miedo a los moros; y por estos últimos, porque no consideraban que valiera la pena habitarla a causa de su desolación. En resumidas cuentas, unos y otros la habían abandonado por la gran cantidad de tigres, leones, leopardos y demás fieras que allí habitaban. |
