c8.s6.9

“The harkarahs posted in a province have to report the news of all sides and occurrences to the governor of the subah, and to send letters closed in envelopes for being despatched to the imperial Court with the provincial post. The harkarah also keeps his agents in the offices of the nazim and in other places, just like the waqai-nigar and sawanih-navis, and all these three men are called alike ākhbār-navis.” [Mirāt, O.P.L. MS. 691b ; Sup. 175 differs.]
