=Akra (Akarah)=

Ancient site in Bannu District, North-West Fron-
tier Province, situated in 33 degree N. and 70 degree 36' E., near Bannu town.
It is said to have been the seat of government of Rustam, son of
Zal-i-zar, or 'Zal of the golden locks,' and a daughter of the Kabul
Shah. Rustam's sister, Banu, held it as her apanage, whence the
adjacent territory is said to have acquired the name of Banu. Engraved
gems of Greek or West Asian provenance, one in the late Mycenaean
style, have been found on the site.
