Dervazeh Restan; the thirteenth, is the Deri Zin-
gian. All these gates are built of earth or clay, because wood
becomes rotten, and decays.
Here is a mosque, situated without the Dervazeh Pars. The
Governor's palace is situated between the ^.LxL ojl jjC> Derwa-
zeh Taam and Dervazeh Pars. ^
Between these two gates, also, is a lodge or dwelling, erected
by C ax J {^ j Yacouh hen Leith; and the Governor's pa
lace is one of those which belonged to Omru hen
Leith.
Near the Der Gurkouneh, and the Dervazeh Biseky, there is a
large building, which was the treasury of Omru ben Leith. The
bazars of the town are situated about the mesjed or mosque: they
are ample, and well supplied; as are those of the citadel, one of
which was built by order of Yacoub ben Leith, who also be
queathed a legacy to the mosque, and another to an infirmary
or hospital for the sick. And from this bazar there
is a daily revenue of a thousand direms.
