[428] There seems some confusion on this point; I have followed Veliaminof-Zernof, but Bretschneider does not call this movement a migration of Uzbegs but a flight of the White Horde, whom he says were expelled from their original seats by Abū-l-Khayr. Cf. _Tarikh-i-Rashidi_, p. 82. [429] The results of M. Veliaminof-Zernof’s careful researches into the history of the Kazāks were published in three volumes of the _Memoirs of the Eastern Branch of St. Petersburg Archæological Society_, under the title of _The Emperors and Princes of the Line of Kasim_. He called this dynasty the _Kasimovski_, after Kāsim Khān, the son of Jānībeg. Cf. also Levshin’s _Description of the Hordes and Steppes of the Kirghiz-Kazaks_, St. Petersburg, 1864. Mīrzā Haydar says: “The Kazāk Sultans began to reign in A.H. 870 (1465), and continued to enjoy absolute power in the greater part of Uzbegistān till the year A.H. 940” (1533). See _Tarikh-i-Rashidi_, p. 82. [430] _Tarikh-i-Rashidi_, pp. 82 and 92. [431] Thus according to both the _Tārikh-i-Tīmūrī_ and the _Tārīkh-i-Abū-l-Khayr_, quoted by Howorth, _op. cit._ ii. 695. [432] There is in the British Museum a silver coin of Shaybānī Khān, dated A.H. 910: Merv. [433] An account of this campaign will be found in the _Tarikh-i-Rashidi_, p. 243 _et seq._ The account of the Emperor Bāber’s doings at this period are all the more interesting and valuable from the fact that in the famous _Memoirs of Baber_ a break occurs from the year 1508 to the beginning of the year 1519; though an account is also given in the _Tārīkh-i-Ālam-Ārāy_ of Mirza Sikandar, which was used by Erskine in his _History of India_. [434] _Lubb ut-Tawārīkh_, book III. pt. iii. chap. vi. [435] Cf. Veliaminof-Zernof, _op. cit._ p. 247. [436] _Tarikh-i-Rashidi_, p. 245. [437] Cf. _Tarikh-i-Rashidi_, p. 259. Cf. also Veliaminof-Zernof (p. 353), who bases his statements on the _`Abdullah Nāmé_ of Hāfiz ibn Tānish. Copies of this valuable work are very scarce. Its scope and contents have been described (from a copy in the Imperial Academy in St. Petersburg) by M. Veliaminof-Zernof. See _Mélanges Asiatiques de St. Petersburg_, vol. iii. p. 258 _et seq._ [438] “The Seven Wells.” V.-Zernof reads Yati Kurūk, which might mean “the Seven Walls.” The former reading seems more probable. [439] On the locality of this place, cf. Vambéry’s _Bokhara_, p. 257. [440] Cf. _Tarikh-i-Rashidi_, p. 260. [441] Probably to be identified with Panjakand, in the Zarafshān valley, forty miles east of Samarkand. [442] Some distance north of Bokhārā. [443] Cf. _Tarikh-i-Rashidi_, p. 261. Howorth (ii. 713) says `Ubaydullah was in this fort. [444] Mirza Haydar does hesitate to speak thus of the fortunes of his own cousin Bāber, who had in his opinion sold himself to the heretic Persians. [445] As Grigorieff suggested, the name Abū-l-Khayride would fit this dynasty far better than that of Shaybānide.
