Overview
In 443 came word that Tughril Beg had taken and entered Isfahan — the man who had handsomely rebuilt Rayy. Demolishing a house he found vessels studded with precious gems, buried sacks of dinars, two Chinese jars brimming with rare jewels and a great hoard; and in a split-open necklace a green jar holding twenty thousand dinars 1.
