- ca. 1275, Alfonso X, General Estoria Primera parte, (ed. by Pedro Sánchez Pietro-Borja, 2002, Alcalá de Henares: Universidad de Alcalá de Henares):
- E cuenta otrossí que los omnes d'aquella tierra que lo catan fallan por cosa provada que de la manera que nieva e llueve en tierra de Mauritaña ó es aquella fuent que d'essa guisa crece o mingua el Nilo.
- And he says, moreover, that men of that land observe, and find it proven, that depending on how it snows or rains in Mauritania, where that source is found, thus the Nile increases or decreases.
- E cuenta otrossí que los omnes d'aquella tierra que lo catan fallan por cosa provada que de la manera que nieva e llueve en tierra de Mauritaña ó es aquella fuent que d'essa guisa crece o mingua el Nilo.
