Note 288 — NO. XLII.—ISFAHAN.

I conquered the city of Isfahan, and I trusted in the people of Isfahan, and I delivered the cattle in their hands. And they rebelled; and the darogah whom I had placed over them they slew, with 3000 of the soldiers. And I also commanded that a general slaughter should be made of the people of Isfahan.—Timour's Institutes, p. 119. Malcolm's Hist. Persia, vol. i. 461.
