 the land of banu sulaym runs along the same lines as the land of the turks. whoever sees their camels their beasts and everything they have that is turkish will see it as one thing. everything they have is turkish in appearance. the invaders may see outside the capitals a mixture of roman sheep and it will not be hidden from them that the roman sheep are from the sheep of the levant because of the romanness that they see in them.
على أن بلاد بني سليم تجري مجرى بلاد الترك. ومن رأى إبلهم ودوابهم وكل شيء لهم تركي رآه شيئا واحدا. وكل شيء لهم تركي المنظر. وربما رأى الغزاة دون العواصم أخلاط غنم الروم فلا يخفى عليهم غنم الروم من غنم الشام، للرومية التي يرونها فيها.
