c6.11

“The learned Mirza ‘Ulugh Beg has written a history which he has called ‘Ulus Arbaa. One of the ‘four hordes’ is that of the Moghul who are divided into two branches, the Moghul and the Chaghtai. But these two branches, on account of their mutual enmity, used to call each other by a special name, by way of depreciation. Thus the Chaghtai called the Moghul Jatah, while the Moghul called the Chaghtai Karawanas.”⁵
