935.8.2

(_March 1st_) Marching from Dugdugī (_Tuesday, Jumāda II. 20th_) the army did 6 _kurohs_ (12m.) and dismounted at Kusār,[2509] 3 or 4 _kurohs_ from Karrah. I went by boat. We stayed here 3 or 4 [Sidenote: Fol. 363.] days because of hospitality offered by Sl. Jalālu'd-dīn. (_March 4th_) On Friday (_23rd_), I dismounted at Sl. Jalālu'd-dīn's house inside Karrah-fort where, host-like, he served me a portion of cooked meat and other viands.[2510] After the meal, he and his sons were dressed in unlined coats (_yaktāī jāmah_) and short tunics (_nīmcha_).[2511] At his request his elder son was given the style Sl. Maḥmūd.[2512] On leaving Karrah, I rode about one _kuroh_ (2m.) and dismounted on the bank of Gang. Here letters were written and leave was given to Shahrak Beg who had come from Māhīm to our first camp on Gang (_i.e._ Dugdugī). As Khwāja Yaḥyā's grandson Khwāja Kalān had been asking for the records I was writing,[2513] I sent him by Shahrak a copy I had had made.
