      و از آنجا به شهر حمات شدیم، شهری خوشی و آبادان بر لب آب عاصی و این آب را از آن سبب عاصی گویند که به جانب روم می‌رود، یعنی، چون از بلاد اسلام به بلاد کفر می‌رود، عاصی است و بر آب دولاب های بسیار ساخته اند.
      wa az ānjā ba šahr-i hamāt šudēm, šahrē xwaš u ābādān bar lab-i āb-i āsī. wa īn āb rā az ān sabab "āsī" gōyand ki ba jānib-i rōm mē-rawad; ya'nī, čūn az bilād-i Islām ba bilād-i kufr mē-rawad, āsī ast, wa bar āb dolāb-hāyi basyār sāxta-and.
      and from there we went to city of Hama, a pleasant and inhabited place near the Asi [Sinful] River. And this river is called "sinful" because it is flowing toward Rome [Byzantine Empire], that is to say, since it is going from the lands of Islam to the lands of kufr, it is "sinful", and over [the] river they have built many Persian wheels.
