The Rashīdī History 196.1

196.1

As Rashid Sultan remained in Moghulistan, he made Kuchkar his winter quarters. Now Tahir Khan was in Uzbegistan, but some events occurred there which obliged him to retire to Moghulistan. He therefore came [and settled down] near Kuchkar, where he was joined by half the Kirghiz, to whom he gave protection in his own territories. On this account Rashid Sultan became alarmed, and in the depth of winter fled from Kuchkar to At-Bashi. On learning this, the Khan, towards the end of that same winter, repaired to At-Bashi, and joined his son at [the] Kutulish of At-Bashi. [Rashid's] followers were [thus] reassured.
