*Chihilqad*. — This is N°. 67 of the *Āīn*, 112, and is shown as figure N°. 54 on plate xiv. Muḥammed Qāsim, *Aḥwāl-ul-Khawāqin*, 161*b*, spells it چلقت, *chalqat*. It was a doublet worn over the armour, and possibly identical with the *chiltā* or *chihal-tah*, literally forty-folds (Shakespear, 884; Steingass, 398).
