When inspections are held, the stock of Mohanah first pass in review ; then the young ones of Ashki. Though the latter belong to the former, they are now separately counted. Then come the four zirihí pigeons; they are the stock of a pigeon which belonged to Hájí 'Alí, of Samarqand, which coupled with an ’Udi hen, of which I do not know the owner; their stock has become famous. The precedence of all other pigeons is determined by their age or the time they were bought.
