VII. Next succeeded Mangali Khan, son of Yal-duz. He also made his people happy and prosperous, and died after a long reign. Some writers, however, do not even mention his name. VIII. Tingiz Khan—also written, according to the Tajzik method of substituting j for g—Tinjiz—son of Mangali, succeeded on the death of his father. A few writers are in doubts whether he was the son of Mangali or not, but there can be no reasonable doubt on the subject. By some he is said likewise to have abandoned the just ways and customs of his ancestors, but the contrary seems the fact, and that he reigned worthily for a period of 110 years over Mughalistan, and then resigned the authority into the hands of his son, and retired from the world. Some say his rule extended to a period of 100 years, and some 102. IX. I-yal Khan—but which may be, according to the vowel points that may be used with it, Il Khan, son of Tingiz or Tinjiz, succeeded to the chieftain-ship of the Mughal I-mak. His reign is a most important one in the annals of the descendants of Turk; and, at the period in question, Tur, son of Faridun, sovereign of ’Ajam, ruled over [what the ’Arabs subsequently styled by the name of] Mawar-un-Nahr, and Turkistan, which he had, it is said, lately reduced, and invaded I-yal Khan’s territory with a numerous army.
