During this state of affairs while the two armies were in close proximity to each other, a person of a certain name, whom they were wont to call the son of so-and-so, came [to Ulugh Khan’s camp] as a spy on the part of Malik ’Izz-ud-Din, Balban-i-Kashlu Khan, and made out that he was come to present himself to Ulugh Khan-i-A’zam, and [pretended], on the part of the Maliks and Amirs who were supporting Malik Balban-i-Kashlu Khan, to represent that they all desired to make their submission in Ulugh Khan’s presence, and that, if a deed of immunity were granted, and the right hand pledged, assurance given, and means of subsistence and a fief assigned to himself who had presented himself before Ulugh Khan, he would bring over all the Maliks and Amirs of Malik Balban-i-Kashlu Khan's party, and cause them to be ranged on the series of the other servants [of the state].
