"The rider was a giant whose skin, blacker than that of the other two, as well as his thick lips and flaring nostrils, told of negro blood in vastly predominating abundance. His wide silk pantaloons, gathered in about his bare ankles, were supported by a broad girdle wrapped repeatedly about his huge belly; that girdle also supported a flaring-tipped scimitar, which few men could have weild with one hand. With that scimitar the man was famed wherever the dark-skinned sons of the desert rode. He was Tilutan, the pride of the Ghanata. (Del Rey)"
