From the word \*Sadi\* it appears probable that each \*amir\* was placed in charge of 100 villages, though a careful examination of Barani's text as a whole leads to the conclusion that these men were officers who combined civil and military functions and each had one hundred men under his command. - [Previous: c11.128](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c11.128) - [Next: c11.130](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c11.130) - [Up: c11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c11) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c11.129](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c11.129) · Pramāṇa
