P. 150, l. 17. There is something wrong in the text here.

P. 157, ll. 8—17. This passage should run thus: “the next day they came to the abode of Shaikh Fatḥ-ullah Tarín, who was one of the renowned deputies of Shaikh-ul-Islám Fatḥpúrí, and sat in council and considered it advisable that all of us together with Tolak Khán Qúchín and Bég Núrín Khán and Raḥman Qulí Khán and Kákar 'Alí Khán and the other Amírs of the jágír of the neighbourhood of Dihlí (who were come to repulse the Mirzá and were waiting for us in the pargana of Áhár on the bank of the river Ganges) should carry out whatever plans they might fix upon, as soon as a junction should have been effected.”

P. 162. Add to note³. “Thís is a Turkí word and means a servant but not a royal one.”

“In the eye of the experience of the jesting man A two-headed snake is better than the surveyor's measuring-line.”

P. 216, l. 1. “In the hot air” should perhaps rather be “in his intense fervour.”

—— ll. 9—12. This passage should rather run;

“In this year a learned Bráhman, Shaikh Bháwan, who had come from the Dak'hin and nolens volens turned Musalmán, came to visít his Majesty and was admitted to great intimacy; and his Majesty gave him the order to translate the Atharva Veda, which is one of the four well­known sacred books of the Hindus. Several of the religious precepts of this book resemble the laws of Islám. I was appointed to render it from Hindí into Persian.

P. 268, l. 13. Can mean “certain men who had been brought over to his views?”

P. 276, l. 19. Bíjágarh should be Bíjánagar if the Persian text is correct, but it no doubt refers to Bíjápur.

P. 284, l. l. Instead of “and to God” it should rather run, “and God has made the same encroachments on his empire.”

P. 293, l. 1. This is a hard passage, and its meaning is very doubtful.

P. 298, l. 5. Patnah should be Pannah, see Blochm. p. 425, note.

P. 330, ll. 10—13. Blochmann (p. 105) translates this, “the emperor took exception to my translation and called me a Harámkhur and a turnip-eater as if that was my share of the book.” But the truth is that it refers to a Persian proverb in Roebuck, p. 192, and should run “What objections did I not have to hear, and I learned the full force of the proverb,—am I to eat forbidden food and be content with turnips after all?”

P. 367, ll. 24—27. This passage more probably means, “If the Hindus take
this ill and will not prevent it, the wife of some Hindu who has died shall
take her as a daughter and shall adopt her in that interview.”
P. 368, ll. 23, 24. This should be “to quadruple the number,” (cf. p. 157,
l. 19.) See Defrémery, Mirchond, Saman. p. 10, l. 17.
P. 373, l. 24. This should be “to Atak Banáras, which is also called Atak

P. 385, ll. 15, 16, for read and translate,
Tatah which was drunk through the passing of the cup,
Behold now it is desolate and with its cup broken!”

carried about with him together with his implements, cut his throat and
died.”

the line mean “he ordered Naqíb Khán (the translator) to take it as a
model”?
