The Rashīdī History 233.3

233.3

The life of the Khan, his noble character and worthy qualities have already been fully described in these pages: but although an account of the whole of his life is contained in this history, the context has rendered it necessary to give the facts in a somewhat disjointed and scattered manner. I will therefore add here a brief recapitulation. His genealogy is as follows: Abul Fath Sultan Said Khan Ghazi, was son of Sultan Ahmad Khan, son of Yunus Khan, son of Shir Ali Khan, son of Muhammad Khan, son of Khizir Khwaja Khan, son of Tughluk Timur Khan. The descent of Tughluk Timur Khan from Japhet, the son of Noah, is traced in both the Mujma ut Tavarikh and in the Prolegomena to the Zafar-Nama, and God willing, the details shall be given in the first part [of this history] ; I will therefore avoid repeating it [in this place].
