Deuteronomy 3:4-5

3:4 We captured all his cities at that time – there was not a town we did not take from them – sixty cities, all the region of Argob, ¹  the dominion of Og in Bashan. 3:5 All of these cities were fortified by high walls, gates, and locking bars; ²  in addition there were a great many open villages. ³
