218.6

Kāmrān had given up the rein of intention to the hand of rebellion and hostility, he applied himself to strengthening the fort, and placed guns and muskets all over it. The fort too was very strong, for it was of mud and so the breaching (qil'a u qam'a) of it was very difficult. The breadth of the wall was sixty yards (gaz). Though the heroes of the victorious army were few in number, yet they strove manfully so that the Turkomāns were astonished, and became jealous of them.
