- مطالبی آنان را گویند که در گوهای مصر طلب گنج‌ها و دفینه‌ها کنند و از همه مغرب و دیار مصر و شام مردم آیند و هر کس در آن گوها و سنگسارهای مصر رنج‌ها برند و مال‌ها صرفه کنند و بسیار آن بوده باشد که دفاین و گنج‌ها یافته باشند.
- matālibī ānān rā gōyand ki dar gaw-hā-yi misr talab-i ganj-hā u dafīna-hā kunand u az hama-yi mağrib u diyār-i misr u šām mardum āyand u har kas dar ān gaw-hā u sangsār-hā-yi misr ranj-hā barand u māl-hā sarfa kunand u bisyār ān būda bāšad ki dafāyin u ganj-hā yāfta bāšand.
- Those people called maṭālibī are those who search for treasure and hidden fortune in the ditches of Egypt. People come from all of North Africa and the districts of Egypt and Syria, and every one of them goes through trouble in those ditches and stony fields of Egypt, to profit from the wealth. There are many who have found treasure and fortune.
