From that time forward, the title of the Shansabanian Sultans, according to the august words of the Lord of the Faithful, Harun-ar-Rashid, became Kasim-i-Amir-ul-Muminin—the Lord of the Faithful’s handsome [one]. When these two personages returned to Ghur again, the government of the territory [was assumed] by the Shansabanis, and the championship of the forces by the Shisanis, and that arrangement continued up to the present age according to this settlement. The Sultans were all Shansabanis, and the Champions, such as Mu-ayyid-ud-Din, Fath-i-Karmakh, Abu-l-’Abbas-i-Shis, and Suliman-i-Shis, were all Shisanis—the mercy of the Almighty be upon the whole of them!
