    • c. 1060, Nāṣir-i Khusraw, Safarnāma [Book of Travels]‎[2]:
      بر جانب جنوب میناست، و بیشتر شهر‌های ساحل را میناست و آن چیزی‌ست که جهت محافظت کشتی‌ها ساخته‌اند، مانند اسطبل که پشت بر شهرستان دارد و دیوارها بر لب آب دریا درآمده.
      bar jānib-i junūb mīnā-st, u bēštar-i šahr-hā-yi sāhil rā ān čīzē-st ki jihat-i muhāfazat-i kišti-hā sāxta-and, mānand-i istabl ki pušt-i šahristān dārad u dēwār-hā bar lab-i āb-i daryā darāmada.
      To the south, there is a mīnāʾ [Arabic for "port; harbor"]. Most of the coastal cities have this thing [called a mīnāʾ], which is built for the sake of safeguarding ships like a stable [for horses], behind the city; its walls touch upon the shores of the ocean.
