If thou desirest my good pleasure, send away Nuh, the Jan-dar, to his own place of dwelling, and his own locality, and do not allow him to remain in Nangrahar. \[The Khalj tribe — or rather a portion of them — had been located in the neighbourhood of the Safed-koh, on the southern slopes, in Karman and Shaluzan for several centuries previous.
