He describes it as round like a cup, with the sultan's house in its middle and water flowing through its midst. The width of its wall was twelve cubits, and among its gates are the Gate of Conquests, the Gate of Zuwayla and the Gate of the Wadi of al-Qassarin. {cite:ahsan-al-taqasim p.181}\n\nThe two accounts describe the city at two different times, and the history needs an additional source."
