170.1.3

When Sultan Mu'izz-ud-Din acquired the territory of Tigin-abad, the Ghuzz tribe, and the chieftains of that sept, who, retiring defeated from before the forces of Khita, had moved towards Ghaznin, during a period of twelve years had taken the Ghaznin territory out of the hands of Khusrau Shah and of Khusrau Malik, and had brought it under their own sway. Mu’izz-ud-Din was in the constant habit of making raids upon the Ghuzz from Tigin-abad, and assailing them, and continued to harass that territory until the year 569 H. when Sultan Ghiyas-ud-Din subdued Ghaznin, and placed Sultan Mu’izz-ud-Din upon the throne [of that territory] and returned to Ghur again, as has been previously recorded. The second year after this, [namely] in 570 H., Sultan Mu’izz-ud-Din brought the districts of Ghaznin under his sway, and acquired Gardaiz; and, in the third year [571 H.] he marched an army towards Multan and delivered it from the hands of the Karamitah; and, in this year, 571 H., the Sankuran tribe broke out into rebellion, and committed great violence, until, in the year 572 H., he marched an army against them, and fell upon that people, and put the greater number of them to the sword. They have related that most of the Sankuran tribe were manifestly confessors of the Kur’an creed, who, on this occasion, obtained martyrdom; but, as they had stirred up rebellion, they were put to death, as a matter of exigency, according to sovereign prerogative.
