c7.s1.20

²⁶ Tulamba is said to have been 35 *kuroh* from Multan in Z.N., II, 54. T.M.S., 218 has 40 *kuroh*, and so also has Ferishta. But *kuroh* was about 1¾ miles and not 2. The mīl of Ibn Battūta described "Synonymous with *kuroh*" (Trs. Mahdi Husain, Introduction, 1) was equal to 1.44 of the present mile. A *farsakh* or *farsang* was equal to 6,000 yards. Tulamba is actually 52 miles N.N.E. of Multan and is shown in Rennel's map (facing p. 65). During the time of Akbar it was a Pargana or Mahāl in the Sarkar of Bari Doab, the province of Multan. Āīn Jarret's trs., II, 329-30. Also Hunter, Imp. Gaz., XIII, 163.
