248.1.6

This statement of his is simply impossible, because, if it were only those peoples sent into the east, into what in the writer’s time was called “Mughulistan,” by Ughuz, under “some of his sons and kinsmen,” that were massacred, what became of the parent stock of the Mughals over whom Ughuz reigned? They too must have also increased immensely during 4000 years. How is it that he says nothing about them? He has turned two events into one, and the last part of his statement is the account of the extermination of the Mughal I-mak, related above, and the former refers to a great massacre of the Jala-ir tribe by the Khita-is in after years, as will be presently related.
