Ebn Haukal says, " Once I went to Samarcand, and upon
" one of the Gates of that city, which they call the Gate of
" Kash, I saw a plate of iron, and on it were inscribed some
" words; and the people of Samarcand were of opinion that
" this inscription had leen written by the people of Homer
" for the Hajnyarites), and that the builder of that gate had
f< been the Tobba, or King of Yemen" The same person
(Ebn Haukal) also says, " at the time when I resided in
" Samarcand, a tumult or riot happened, and that gate was
" destroyed by fire."
