REIGN OF NÛSH BIN BALLÂSH.

He was a monarch who loved his subjects. In the Târikh Guzidah it is related that after Hormuz his brother Nursi reigned fourteen years. In the Nizâm-ut-touarikh it is stated that Nursi reigned forty years; in the Târikh Ja’fari, however, no mention at all is made of Nursi, and his place is occupied by Nûsh Bin Ballâsh, as recorded in the present work; God, however, knows best the true state of the case.
