In the Ḥiṣār-fīrūza neighbourhood Ḥamīd Khān _Sārang-khānī_ with a body of his own Afghāns and of the Panī Afghāns he had collected—from 3 to 4,000 in all—was in a hostile and troublesome attitude. On Wednesday the 15th Ṣafar (Nov. 21st) we appointed against him Chīn-tīmūr Sl. (_Chaghatāī_) with the commanders Secretary Aḥmadī, Abū'l-fatḥ _Turkmān_, Malik Dād _Kararānī_[1978] and Mujāhid Khān of Multān. These going, fell suddenly on him from a distance, beat his Afghāns well, killed a mass of them and sent in many heads. (_e. Embassy from Persia._) In the last days of Ṣafar, Khwājagī Asad who had been sent to Shāh-zāda T̤ahmāsp[1979] in `Irāq, returned with a Turkmān named Sulaimān who amongst other gifts brought two Circassian girls (_qīzlār_).
