Note 164 — BOOK XII.
William Robson translation
The account of this famine, and the disasters by which it was followed, is to be found in its details, in Les Relations de l’Egypte, translated from Abdallatif by M. Letvestre de Lacy. This Arabian author was a skilful physician and an enlightened man; and his recital, which contains many extraordinary facts, bears all the characters of truth.
