6.6.4
On Thursday, the 15th Arslan Bi, governor of the fort of Kahmard, who was one of the servants of middle rank(?) of Wali Muhammad Khan, ruler of Turan, came and waited on me. I had always heard that Mirza Husam, son of Shahrukh Mirza, had been killed by the Uzbegs. At this time a certain person came and presented a petition in his name, and brought a ruby of the colour of an onion, which was worth 100 rupees, as an offering. He prayed that an army might be appointed to assist him, so that he might take Badakhshan out of the Uzbegs' hands. A jewelled dagger-belt was sent him, and an order given that, as the royal standards had alighted in those regions, if he really was Mirza Husain, son of Mirza Shahrukh, he should first hasten into my presence, so that having examined his petitions and claims I might send him to Badakhshan. Two hundred thousand rupees were sent for the army that had been sent with Maha Singh and Ram Das against the rebels of Bangash.
