Exalted son, Eftikhár Khán*, at the time of the service of (his) stewardship, owing to (his) good nature, experience, and careful attention, made me the (following) fine statement, “Dishonesty does not consist only in taking and dragging property, but in representing truth as untruth and untruth as truth.” I was much pleased (at these words); and I issued forth a strict order to all officers and royal servants (to the effect) that they should represent to me the facts about each person without any exaggeration and should not care for the dignities of relatives, acquaintances, and strangers.
