Fasihi, on the contrary, states, that Alan-Kawa gave birth to Bu-zanjar and his brothers in the year 376 H. \[middle of A.D. 986\], and this, coupled with the statement in the Majami'-ul-Shiyar, that the Kaiat and Naguz issued from Irganah-Kun some time after H. 200 \[A.D. 815—816\], doubtless, is the correct date. Now, if we add 400 to 579—the date of Nushirwan’s death, and suppose that the date of Kaian and Naguz entering Irganah-Kun, instead of the date of leaving it, we shall have 979 years, and, if we take 400 years from A.D. 986—the year mentioned by Fasihi, namely 376 H., we shall have 407 years remaining, and this seems, to me, to show that the flight of the two fugitives and their wives took place about the middle of Nushirwan's reign, and not their issuing from Irganah-Kun, which took place some time after H. 200 \[A.D. 815—816\], and, if we allow the average of thirty years for each generation, and consider that Bu-zanjar was the great grandson of Yal-duz or I-yal-duz, we shall not be far from the year 376 H. \[A.D. 986\]. - [Previous: 249.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.249.2) - [Next: 249.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.249.4) - [Up: 249](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.249) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.249.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.249.3) · Pramāṇa
