They are good soldiers, and many of them are in the king's service. They are esteemed there, and at the court grow to be great nobles. During my time one of these was Hizetcan ('Izzat Khan), who was governor of the city of Tatthah, where it happened that he was made prisoner and disgraced by a young lady, as will have been seen in my Second Part (II. 171). It is a tale told among the Moguls that the ancient chronicles show how Alexander the Great was given a great deal of trouble by this race when he crossed the Indus river. Their complexion is of a deep green-black; they can place in the field twelve thousand horse, and they have no prince. There is another race called Gett (Jat), who are found a hundred leagues from Lahor, where there is much jungle. They were ruled over by the man from whom I removed the fat, as will have been seen in my Second Part (II. 161), when I was living in the city of Lahor. They were for ever plundering the king's territory, and for this reason there is always a faujdar ready to give assistance in any direction. These officers sometimes come to amicable terms with them, so as to live in peace and quiet; and relying on the word of trusted friends, they meet and entertain each other. - [Previous: 238.5.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.238.5.5) - [Next: 238.5.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.238.5.7) - [Up: 238.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.238.5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.238.5.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.238.5.6) · Pramāṇa
