The Chachnāma (Fatḥnāma-yi Sind) 13.2.5

13.2.5

When the affairs of Siwistan were completely put in order, he sent a mandate to Agham Luhánah the Prince of Brahmanabad, that is to say, the ruler of (the tribes of) Luhánah, Sammah and Sahtah, calling upon him to submit to him. After a few days, some guards whom he had placed on the high roads in the direction of Makrán happened to seize a man, bearing letters of Agham addressed to Mattah, the ruler of Siwistan, the purport of which was shortly this:—"I have always behaved towards you as a friend and well-wisher, and have, on no occasion, acted against you or quarrelled with you. I acknowledge the receipt of the letter which you sent to me by way of friendship. You honoured me therein by the assurance that, as long as our union and friendship lasts, no enemy will approach us. I am ready to do your behests, and to carry out completely every one of your orders. You are a king and the son of a king. There exists perfect harmony between us and you. Misfortunes like these have befallen many persons and compelled them to seek refuge. You are at liberty to fix your residence at any town you choose in the territories dependent on Brahmanabad, down to the sea, and to Debal. And if you intend to go somewhere else, none will obstruct you or molest you. I shall be helping you till you are safely settled somewhere. I possess sufficient troops and followers to be able to assist you.” But Mattah preferred going in the direction of Hind to the kingdom of Nirmal, called Bhatti (or Bhetti).
