Among the idols were five of red gold, beaten, standing five cubits high in the air. Into the two eyes of one of them two rubies had been set; had their like been offered to the Sultan, he would have bought them for fifty thousand dinars, thinking it cheap, and would have made no stipulation of liability or warranty. On another was a piece of blue ruby more lustrous than limpid water and radiant splendour, weighing four hundred and fifty mithqāls. The two feet of one of the said idols weighed four thousand four hundred mithqāls.
