² The *Jahān-kushā-i-Nādirī* is followed here (pp. 358, 359). Fraser (p. 185) says that the slaughter lasted from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and that the number of the slain was 120,000, though placed by some as high as 150,000. Scott's estimate of 8000 (II, 207) is certainly too low and it is not improbable that Muhammad Mahdī errs in the same direction.
