In the Aín Akbari we find the price of the Sumatran Camphor, known to the Hindus as Bhím Seni, varying from 3 rupees as high as 2 mohurs (or 20 rupees) for a rupee’s weight, which latter price would be twice the weight in gold.

LAWÁKI. Lawáki comes from Lovek, a former capital of Cambodia; referring to the aloes-wood called Lawáki in the Ain-i-Akbari written in the 16th century, Ferrand, Textes, I., p. 285 n., remarks: “On vient de voir que Ibn-al-Bayṭār a emprunté ce nom à Avicenne (980–1037) qui écrivit son Canon de la Médecine dans les premières années du XIe siècle. Lawāḳ ou Lowāḳ nous est donc attesté sous la forme Lawāḳi ou Lowāḳī dès le Xe siècle, puis qu’il est mentionné, au début du XIe, par Avicenne qui résidait alors à Djurdjān, sur la Caspienne.”
