925.8.1

(_June 11th_) On Friday the 12th came Aḥmad Beg and Sl. Muḥammad _Dūldāī_ who had been left to help in Bajaur. (_June 16th_) On Wednesday the 17th of the month, Tīngrī-bīrdī and other braves gave a party in Ḥaidar _Tāqi's_ garden; I also went and there drank. We rose from it at the Bed-time Prayer when a move was made to the great tent where again there was drinking. (_June 23rd_) On Thursday the 25th of the month, Mullā Maḥmūd was appointed to read extracts from the Qorān[1466] in my presence. (_June 28th_) On Tuesday the last day of the month, Abū'l-muslim Kūkūldāsh arrived as envoy from Shāh Shujā` _Arghūn_ bringing a _tīpūchāq_. After bargain made about swimming the reservoir in the Plane-tree garden, Yūsuf-i-`alī the stirrup-holder swam round it today 100 times and received a gift of a head-to-foot (dress), a saddled horse and some money. (_July 6th_) On Wednesday the 8th of Rajab, I went to Shāh Ḥasan's house and drank there; most of the household and of [Sidenote: Fol. 237b.] the begs were present.
