He then marched towards Gurgan and Tabaristan, and, after having extorted tribute, again retired. He made his brother, U’mro-i-Lais, Wali \[governor\] of Hirat: and, in 261 H., a person — one of the Amirs of Muhammad-i-Tahir — revolted, and set Muhammad-i-Tahir at liberty who retired to the Court of the Khalifah, Al-Wasik B’illah. Ya’kub-i-Lais again marched an army into 'Irak, and, on his return from thence, he reached a place which was called Khandah-i-Shapur and there he departed this life, in the year 265 H., of colic, after a reign of fourteen years. - [Previous: 17.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.17.3) - [Next: 18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.18) - [Up: 17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.17) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.17.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.17.4) · Pramāṇa
