The huge possession consisted of more than forty thousand people, consisting of the twenty-two thousand (22,000) slaves Alexander bought, four thousand (4,000)  mercenaries, and one thousand (1,000) Cantagena soldiers who decided to move to him to Zanzan, the five thousand (5,000) freed Canteganan slaves and servants, the seven thousand (7,000) free Adhanians and around one thousand artisans (1,000) and their families..
