At that time Abulkhair Khan exercised full power in the Dasht-i-Kipchak. He had been at war with the Sultans of the race of Juji ; while Jani Beg Khan and Karai Khan fled before him into Moghulistan. Isan Bugha Khan received them with great honour, and delivered over to them Kuzi Bashi, which is near Chu, on the western limit of Moghulistan, where they dwelt in peace and content. On the death of Abulkhair Khan the Ulus of the Uzbegs fell into confusion, and constant strife arose among them. Most of them joined the party of Karai Khan and Jani Beg Khan. They numbered about 200,000 persons, and received the name of Uzbeg-Kazak. The Kazak Sultans began to reign in the year 870 \[1465-66\] (but God knows best), and they continued to enjoy absolute power in the greater part of Uzbegistan, till the year 940 \[1533-34 a.d.\]. Karai Khan was succeeded by Baranduk Khan, who was in turn succeeded by Kasim Khan, the son of Jani Beg Khan. Kasim Khan subdued the whole of the Dasht-i-Kipchak. His army numbered more than a million \[a thousand thousand\] men. Excepting Juji Khan, there had never reigned a greater Khan than he in that country. He was succeeded by his son Mimash Khan, who was succeeded by his brother Tahir Khan.
