In the fifth century there had been bad floods; but worse came in A.D. 629, when both rivers burst their banks and played havoc with the dikes and embankments. It is related that the Sassanian king Parwiz, the contemporary of Mohammed, crucified in one day forty canal-workers at a certain breach, and yet was unable to master the flood.
"Give me my wish according to the command of the prince." The jailer shrugged his shoulders. "As thou wilt. Make ready to follow the canal-workers, to-morrow." When the door fell shut again, Kenkenes returned to his pallet and re-read the scroll. A year's imprisonment! The sentence defined was the sum of daily shame, sorrow, homesickness and misanthropy.
