Overview

al-Mansura: a city in Sind, below the lake. al-Baladhuri reports that Amr ibn Muhammad ibn al-Qasim built it when his affair prevailed, and it is the one in which the governors settle today. Before that its site had been a thicket near old Brahmanabad. ¹

An additional source is needed: the page number. Another description of the city is found in al-Idrisi under al-Mansura (Sind).
