Examples
“آنجا قصب رنگین بافند از عمامهها و وقایهها و آنچه زنان پوشند. از این قصبهای رنگین هیچ جا مثل آن نبافند که در تنیس، و آنچه سپید باشد به دمیاط بافتند، و آنچه در کارخانه سلطانی بافند به کسی نفروشند و ندهند.”
Colored linen cloth is woven there for turbans, head scarves, and the things women wear. Nowhere is the like of this colored linen cloth woven other than in Tinnīs; and the white ones were woven in Damietta. Whatever is woven in the king's workshops are neither sold nor gifted to anyone.
