### [2.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-elliot.2.2.4)

'Abdu-l 'Aziz and \* \* \* with several other of the Begs about my person were directed to enter the fort, and to take possession of and secure their treasures and all their property. \* \* \* I examined Ghazi Khan's library, and found in it a number of valuable books. \* \* \* There was also a number of theological books, but I did not, on the whole, find so many books of value as, from their appearance, I had expected. I stayed in the fort all night, and next morning returned to the camp. We had been mistaken in imagining that Ghazi Khan was in the fort. The traitorous coward had escaped to the hills, with a small number of followers, leaving his father, his elder and younger brothers, his mother, his elder and younger sisters, in Milwat. \* \* \* After advancing one kos from the station at the gorge of Milwat, we halted in a valley. \* \* \* I gave the fort of Milwat to Muhammad 'Ali Jang-Jang, who left his brother Arghun in the place on his part with a body of troops. \* \* \* Marching thence, and passing the small hills of Ab-kand by Milwat, we reached Dun. In the language of Hindustan they call a Julga (or dale) Dun. \* \* \*
