^{page 322 note 2} Ibn Baṭῡṭah describes in detail the admirable system of posts existing in the empire under the Tuluq dynasty.

^{page 326 note 1} Mr. Thomas accepted it. See Chronicles, p. 108.

^{page 329 note 1} According to other accounts the ai outlived iyā-al-dīn Tuluq by a month or two, and it was only his son's general relations with the ai that displeased him.

^{page 341 note 1} Ibn Baṭῡṭah says that the stuffed skin of iyā-al-dīn Bahādur accompanied that of Gurshāsp, but this is a mistake, for Bahādur did not rebel until A.H. 731 (A.D. 1330–1). Ibn Baṭῡṭah had not yet arrived in India and wrote his account of this event from hearsay.

^{page 344 note 1} One coin is said to bear the date 734, but this is doubtful. See JASB. pt. i, lxiv, 49, and JRAS. 1909, p. 667.

^{page 346 note 1} Ibn Baṭῡṭah says Badarkot (Bīdar), but here the authority of Baranī is to be preferred.

^{page 347 note 1} Khor was situated in 27° 33′ N. and 79° 35′ E., about 6 miles to the east of Shamsābād. Sargadwārī was the Sanskrit Swargadwāra.

^{page 354 note 1} In the Bibliotheca Indica text of Baranī ‘ Azīz is styled Ḥimār (“ the Ass”). In the Cairo text of Ibn Baṭῡṭah, the Bibliotheca Indica text of Budāonī, and the Bombay text of Firita he is called ammār (“ the Vintner”). One dot only constitutes the difference between the two words, as usually written, and its omission may be due to a scribe's error or an author's deliberate pleasantry. ammār was more probably his designation.

^{page 355 note 1} This word literally translates the ‘amīrs of hundreds, or yῡzbā īs, who were not, however, purely military officers, but civil officials responsible for the collection of the revenue in groups of about a hundred villages each. Ibn Baṭῡṭah had had dealings with ‘ Azīz ammār when the latter was collector of revenue in the “ thousand ” of Amroha, which contained about 1,500 villages. The collectors were entitled to a commission of five per cent on their collections. The “ centurions ” were, of course, military officers as well, or they would not have been able to collect the revenue.

^{page 358 note 1} Another authority gives Sha‘bãn 28, 748 (Dec. 3, 1347) as the date of this event, but the earlier date is usually accepted. The adoption of the later date would not affect the argument.
