- c. 1060, Nāṣir-i Khusraw, Safarnāma [Book of Travels]‎:
  شب به دیه باریاب بودم و از آنجا به راه سمنگان و طالقان به مروالرود شدم. پس به مرو رفتم و از آن شغل که به عهدهٔ من بود معاف خواستم و گفتم که مرا عزم سفر قبله است.
  šab ba dīh-i bāryāb būdam u az ānjā ba rāh-i samangān u tāluqān ba marwu-r-rūd šudam. pas ba marw raftam u az ān šuğl ki ba uhda-yi man būd mu'āf xwāstam u guftam ki ma-rā azm-i safar-i qibla ast.
  We were at the village of Bāryāb for the night, and from there, we went to Marw al-Rūd on the road to Samangān and Tāluqān. So we went to Marw, and I requested to be exempt from the job that was my duty and said that my desire was to journey to the Qibla [Mecca].
