After that, Muslimeh came to Shirwän (!)55 
there he came to a fortress where he fought 
(with the inhabitants) and defeated them. The 
enemy ascended the walls and bastions and 
continued to oppose; but at last solicited mercy 
and prepared to yield the fortress, on condi-

fortress was delivered up. There was the com- 
plete numbér of a thousand infidels in it;

interview with Sa’idu; consequently Muslimeh was already i in Shirwau. I think rather that the expression must 
be thus:
