Its governor, Kiwak Khan, with all found within the place, were put to the sword—more than 30,000 in all—including grandees and great men, the servants of the Sultan, who were treated in the most contemptuous manner, and their females and children were carried away into slavery, but babes were not spitted on lances as in these days of civilization and Christianity. After this the citadel was levelled with the ground, and not a vestige of gate, wall, or rampart, of either city or citadel remained. Kiwak Mazar, or the Tomb of Kiwak, lies a few miles to the N.E. of the present city. - [Previous: 258.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.258.2.7) - [Next: 258.3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.258.3.1) - [Up: 258.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.258.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.258.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.258.2.8) · Pramāṇa
