v3.c45.s7.26

An army of Muslim collectors and *amins*,—usually men of reputed scholarship and orthodoxy,—spread over the country to assess and realize the tax. So large was their number, that in 1687 an Inspector-General of *jaziya* was appointed to tour through the four provinces of the Deccan and see that these men did their work properly. (*M.A.* 297.)
