Befestigte Rasthäuser (robât) waren unter Emir Abdur Rahman Khan immer im Abstand von 18 km (shash kroh à 3 km) angelegt worden. Diese Entfernung galt als ganzer oder halber Tagesmarsch (mansel) [Auskunft Dr. Mhd. Aman].

L. W. Adamec (1979): Mazar-i-Sharif and North-Central Afghanistan, S. 466–467: Abschnitt: „ROBAT Or ROBATAK“.
S. 466–467: „Elevation 3,315 feet. The ruins of an old brick robat and a small modern sarai, 21 miles east-southeast of Aibak. […]“
„‘Robat, although belonging to Haibak, is geographically in Ghori—that is to say, it is on the Ghori side of the watershed. It was given to the father of Mir Badal Beg of Saighan and Kamard by Amir Muhammad Afzal Khan, father of Amir Abdul Rahman. The present robat, which is occupied as a village, was built by Shahghasi Sherdil Khan in 1876 with the bricks of the old one. It is a substantial looking construction. When built, there were only 15 or 16 families at the place. Now there are over 40 families, mostly Hazaras of Saighan, known as Saighanchis. […] (Maitland, Peacocke.)“
S. 44: „[…] A great number of Kushani coins are found in Rubatak (also the site of two forts built under Amir Abdur Rahman) in the vicinity of Aibak. […]“
