The Book of Akbar 245.3

245.3

Bābūs, Musahib Beg, Ismail Beg Duldāī, Ali Quli of Andarab, Haidar Dost Moghal, Shaikham Khwaja Khizri and Qurban Qarawal with nearly 3000 veteran horsemen, all of whom had been enticed by him, went off by Kotal Minar en route for Badakhshan and so trod the wilderness of error.
