v3.c28.22

The dome of the Tyrant’s tomb at Bīdar is split, and half of it has fallen away. It is locally believed that this occurred when the monster’s body was placed in it, and that the Almighty refused his remains protection. The accident happened when the building was struck by lightning forty or fifty years ago, but the currency of the legend proves at least that his memory is still execrated.
