Note 339 — Chapter XX · The Khwārazm-shāhs

In this account of the reign of Tekish we have followed the Habīb-us-Siyar. There is, however, a great discrepancy in this part of the history, for in one place Khwāndamīr says that the hostilities lasted only ten years (A.H. 568–578), when they were brought to a close by a treaty between the two brothers, in which Tekish granted the rule of certain towns in Khorāsān to his brother. An account of Sultan Shāh Mahmūd may be found in the Tabakāt-i-Nāsiri, trans., i. 245–249.
