99. A question of land was the real cause of the struggle, when the
Akahals strove with the Tukuches, because the harvests of the
Akahals had been destroyed by the Tukuches. Those who beat the
persons injuring the harvests were seized at the point of Chiqib,
the place where this took place among those men of old.
