In the accounts given by European writers generally, Batu Khan's troops are incorrectly styled an army of "Tartars" \[there were certainly some Tartars among these forces, as well as Turks and Tajziks, who were subject to the Mughal yoke\], by some called "Thatturi," and, by others, "Mangali," and these were under the command of "Bathus and Peta, sons of Hocotum Cham, son of Genzis Cham"! - [Previous: 284.1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.284.1.7) - [Next: 284.2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.284.2.1) - [Up: 284.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.284.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.284.1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.284.1.8) · Pramāṇa
