263.1.1

Trustworthy persons relate after this manner, that the Chingiz Khan had four sons. The eldest of them was named Tushi, the next younger than he was named Chaghatae, the third was called Uktae, and the fourth, who was the youngest of all, was named Tuli. When the Chingiz Khan marched from Mawara-un-Nahr into Khurasan, he despatched Tushi and Chaghatae, with a large army, towards Khwarazm, Khifchak, and Turkistan; and Tuli was nominated to proceed, with a numerous army, towards the cities of Khurasan; and Uktae, the Chingiz Khan kept near himself. In the year 617 H., Tuli turned his face from the [great camp at the Pushtah-i-Nu’man towards the city of Marw, and took that city, and martyred its inhabitants. From thence he advanced to Nishapur, which, after much fighting, captured the fortress of Jand, which was near Tus, and likewise massacred the inhabitants. In the work entitled “The Mongols Proper,” these proceedings, under the names “Thus” and “Kuhustan,” are wrongly attributed to Tuli Khan, who never went near those places.
