v1.c8.s12.18

On the 26th Shawwal (25th November 1712), Farrukh-siyar's main camp moved on half a mile to Aqilabad. During the day the position of Azz-ud-din was assailed by matchlock and rocket-fire, to which his cannon replied. On the 27th another short move was made and the same distant fight was maintained. Again on the 28th (27th Nov.) there was a march to Bindki, and on this date one Haiya Khan, grandson of Hamid Khan Qureshi, deserted from the other side, and was rewarded with his great-grandfather's title of Daud Khan.*
