Give him forty thousand tankas to provide for his journey to Multān [5]; then, when he enters our lands, we shall be generous to him with wealth.' Then he said: 'If you do not find him, give this sum to his household so that they may deliver it to him when he comes, and let them know that we are asking for him, so that he may provision himself for the journey to Multān.'
