Mr. King in a footnote to his translation of the Burhān-i-Māsir (Ind. Ant. 1899, p 142) gives the various spellings of the word in various MSS. of the Burhān-i-Māsir. He says it is مخ in the India office MS. and منج and مانج in the British Museum MS. Prof. J. N. Sarkar’s MS. which has been transcribed from the India office MS. has اسمیل مخ Mr. King says, Firishta writes مخ (Mugh-a Magian) which he says is the correct reading.
