253.7
In Jamadi-ul-Awwal, 391 H., it is stated, that an envoy came from the I-lak Khan to Sultan Mahmud-i-Sabuk-Tigin, proposing that all the territories of Mawara-un-Nahr should appertain to him, and all Madun-un-Nahr [I have never noticed this term applied to the cis-Amuiah or cis-Oxus countries but in one old author: I shall refer to this again farther on] to Mahmud. Other writers state that a treaty to this effect was entered into between them in 396 H. There may possibly have been two treaties, the latter modified.
