152.1.5

When the [Sultan's] pavilion was brought out of the city of Firuz-koh, and conveyed towards Ghur, the contumacious of Ghur began to manifest opposition. The Sipah-salar, Abu-l-'Abbas, son of Shis, who had raised him to the throne, possessed great authority and influence, and the refractory of Ghur used to shelter themselves under his protection. Both the brothers continued to nourish revenge in their hearts against him [Abu-l-'Abbas], on account of his having killed their cousin, Sultan Saif-ud-Din, and they both concerted a design [against him]. It was determined between them, that one of their own immediate Turkish followers should carry it out [in the following manner]:—When Abu-l-'Abbas should enter the audience-hall, and should stand up in the assembly to make his obeisance, and Sultan Mu’izz-ud-Din should raise his hand to his cap, the Turk should strike off Abu-l-'Abbas’ head; and such was done.
