Laṯīf Begīm was another, a daughter's child of Aḥmad Ḥājī Beg _Dūldāī_ (_Barlās_). After the Mīrzā's death, Ḥamza Sl. took her and she had three sons by him. They with other sulṯāns' children, fell into my hands when I took Ḥiṣār (916 AH.-1510 AD.) after defeating Ḥamza Sulṯān and Tīmūr Sulṯān. I set all free. Ḥabība-sulṯān Begīm was another, a daughter of the brother of Sl. Ḥusain _Arghūn_. _t. His amīrs._ Jānī Beg _Dūldāī_ (_Barlās_) was a younger brother of Sl. Malik _Kāshgharī_. Sl. Abū-sa`īd Mīrzā gave him the Government of Samarkand and Sl. Aḥmad Mīrzā gave him the control of his own Gate.[212] He must have had singular habits and [Sidenote: Fol. 21.] manners;[213] many strange stories are told about him. One is this:—While he was Governor in Samarkand, an envoy came to him from the Aūzbegs renowned, as it would seem, for his strength. An Aūzbeg, is said to call a strong man a bull (_būkuh_). "Are you a _būkuh_?" said Jānī Beg to the envoy, "If you are, come, let's have a friendly wrestle together (_kūrāshālīng_)." Whatever objections the envoy raised, he refused to accept. They wrestled and Jānī Beg gave the fall. He was a brave man.
