We can prove the ordinary rate of a day’s journey from other sources. For instance, Khushḥāl Chand *Nādir-uz-Zamānī*, B.M. 24,027, fol. 247*b*, tells us that from Dihlī to within twelve kos of Kābul the distance was 306 *jarībī* kos, or 535½ *rasamī* kos, and that it was one and a half month’s journey. Taking thirty days to a month, or forty five days in all, we find that this brings out a rate of 6⅘ *jarībī* and 11⅞ *rasamī* kos travelled each day, or almost exactly the same as the distance fixed in the official manual.
