Accordingly the fifth part of the booty secured at Debal was sent to the treasury of Hajjaj, while the booty secured at the conquest of Arman Belah was distributed among the troops, according to their merit and rank—a horseman receiving double the share of a camelman or a foot soldier. What remained of the cash and slaves and other spoils was collected and sent to Hajjaj along with the two daughters of the ruler of Debal. - [Previous: 28.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.28.2.6) - [Next: 29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.29) - [Up: 28.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.28.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.28.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.28.2.7) · Pramāṇa
