v3.c41.s6.4

∗ "In no history has it been read that in any age from the advent of Adam to this time a force of 10 or 12 thousand cavalry and many infantry and numberless camp-followers remained for six months powerless and enclosed like the centre of a circle by brooks and streams,—so that nobody could place his foot outside the circumference of the camp." *Fathiyah*, 89. One MS. reads "42,000 cavalry." But 42,000 was the total strength.
