Note 31 — CHAP. LXXVI.
Reading edition
El Bekrí, who is the only reliable authority, in the edition of de Slane, p. 181, et seq. The distance of nine days from Gógó, according to El Bekrí, is to be regarded as the rate for heavily laden caravans, corresponding well to six days of light camels or mehára. See the itinerary from Tawát to this place, in the Appendix. Of the (erroneous) derivation of the name of the town, I have spoken on a former occasion. See Vol. IV. p. 498.
