¹ *Miftāhul Futūh*, Elliot Vol. III p. 536. *T.M.S.* Trs. p. 58 has Rabīul Akhir 689 or April-May 1290. Barani and Ferishtah have 688 and 687 H. respectively. According to *T.M.S.* Text p. 59 Mu'izzuddīn was murdered in 689 and so also says Badaoni Ranking Vol. I p. 228. Again all the known coins of Shamsuddīn Kaikāūs are dated 689 H. (N. Wright). The earliest known coins of Jalāluddīn are also of 689 H. (*Catalogue of coins in the Indian Museum*, Calcutta Vol. II no. 175). Thus it is certain that Khusrau's date which is supported by numismatic evidence is correct and Barani and Ferishtah are wrong. Also see Thomas: "*Chronicles*" p. 141 note *J.A.S.B. Numismatic Supplement*, p. 229. *Lucknow Museum Catalogue* no. 177.
