Fasih-i, among the occurrences of the year 310 H., says, that by command of the Khalifah, Al-Muktadir, honorary dresses were bestowed upon Tahir and Ya’kub, sons of ’Umro, Lais; but this must refer to Lais, son of ’Ali, son of Lais the Brazier, as Tahir, son of ’Umro, the second of the dynasty, died at Baghdad many years previous to this. In 311 H., according to Fasih-i, Shah Malik, son of Ya’kub-i-Lais, Suffari, with a body of Sigizis, attempted to gain possession of Hirat, but after a time left, and proceeded to Fushanj. He returned to the Dasht of Malan of Hirat again, and invested Hirat for four months, but had to abandon it, and he and his party retired discomfited. Simjur held Hirat on that occasion.
