XI

In the course of this my expedition, a second time I proceeded to the

country of Comukha. I took many of their cities. Their movables, their

wealth, and their valuables I plundered. Their cities I burnt with fire, I

destroyed and overthrew. The soldiers of their armies, who from before the

face of my valiant servants fled away, they would not engage with me in

the fierce battle: to save their lives they took to the stony heights of

the mountains, an inaccessible region: to the recesses of the deep forests

and the peaks of the difficult mountains which had never been trodden by

the feet of men, I ascended after them: they fought with me; I defeated

them: the ranks of their warriors on the tops of the mountains fell like

rain: their carcasses filled the ravines and the high places of the

mountains: their movables, their wealth, and their valuables I carried off

from the stony heights of the mountains. I subdued the country of Comukha

throughout its whole extent, and I attached it to the frontiers of my own

territory.
