History of the Khaljis, A.D. 1290–1320 c11.38

c11.38

²⁶ Barnī gives the date as 696 A.H. Amir Khusrau says that the two armies engaged on the 22nd of Rabiul Akhir 697 (9th February 1298). Ferishtah also has 696. It can clearly be inferred from the account of Baranī that this raid occured some time after the conquest of Multan. Baranī does not give the name of the commander of the expedition. 'Iṣāmī does not mention it at all. *Baranī* p. 250. *Khazain*, Habib Trs., p. 23., *Ferishtah* p. 102.
