At length the matter found settlement at this:—As our westward road is short, it will be all one if we delay a few days, so that our minds may be at ease about the East. Again Ghīāṣu'd-dīn \[Sidenote: Fol. 355b.\] the armourer was made to gallop off, with tryst of 20 days,\[2423\] to convey written orders to the eastern amīrs for all the sulṯāns, khāns, and amīrs who had assembled in \`Askarī's presence, to move against those rebels.\[2424\] The orders delivered, he was to return by the trysted day with what ever news there might be.
