Although the Georgians surrender without further resistance, the city is looted, its citizens massacred, and its Persian defenders executed or mutilated.
The Persian governor and the Georgian prince are tortured to death in the presence of Tong Yabghu.
He appoints governors (tuduns) to manage various tribes under his overlordship.
