(_May 23rd_) On Monday the 23rd of the month, Malik Shāh Manṣūr _Yūsuf-zāī_ arrived from Sawād with 6 or 7 Yūsuf-zāī chiefs, and did obeisance. (_May 31st_) On Monday the 1st of the second Jumāda, the chiefs of the Yūsuf-zāī Afghāns led by Malik Shāh Manṣūr were dressed in robes of honour (_khil`at_). To Malik Shāh Manṣūr was given a long silk coat and an under-coat (? _jība_) with its buttons; to one of the other chiefs was given a coat with silk sleeves, and to six others silk coats. To all leave to go was granted. Agreement was made with them that they were not [Sidenote: Fol. 236b.] to reckon as in the country of Sawād what was above Abuha (?), that they should make all the peasants belonging to it go out from amongst themselves, and also that the Afghān cultivators of Bajaur and Sawād should cast into the revenue 6000 ass-loads of rice. (_June 2nd_) On Wednesday the 3rd, I drank _jul-āb_.[1463] (_June 5th_) On Saturday the 6th, I drank a working-draught (_dārū-i-kār_). (_June 7th_) On Monday the 8th, arrived the wedding-gift for the marriage of Qāsim Beg's youngest son Ḥamza with Khalīfa's eldest daughter. It was of 1000 _shāhrukhī_; they offered also a saddled horse.
