935.2.6
(_Oct. 5th_) Having stayed the night there, at dawn (_Monday 20th_) I visited what places had been ordered made.[2300] The face (_yūz_) of the roofed-tank, ordered cut in the solid rock, was not being got up quite straight; more stone-cutters were sent for who were to make the tank-bottom level, pour in water, and, by help of the water, to get the sides to one height. They got the face up straight just before the Other Prayer, were then ordered to fill the tank with water, by help of the water made the sides [Sidenote: Fol. 344b.] match, then busied themselves to smooth them. I ordered a water-chamber (_āb-khāna_) made at a place where it would be cut in the solid rock; inside it was to be a small tank also cut in the solid rock. (_Here the record of 6 days is wanting._)[2301]
