convey written orders to the eastern amirs for all the sultans, khans, and amirs who had assembled in 'Askari's presence, to move against those rebels.1 The orders delivered, he was to return by the trysted day with what ever news there might be.
(Jih. Baluchi Incursions.)
In these days MuhammadlKukuldash made dutiful representation that again Baluchls had come and overrun several places. Chln-tlmur SI. was appointed for the business ; he was to gather to his presence the amirs from beyond Sihrind and Sainana and with them, equipped for 6 months, to proceed against the Baluchls; namely, such amirs as 'Adil Sultan, SI. Muh. Duldcll, Khusrau Kukuldash, Muhammad 'All Jang-jang, 'Abdu'l-'azlz the Master-of-the-horse, Sayyid 'All, Wall Qlzil, Qaracha, Halahil, 'Ashiqthe House-steward, Shaikh 'All, Kitta (BegKuhbur), Gujur Khan, Hasan 'All Sltvddl. These were to present themselves at the Sultan's call and muster and not to transgress his word by road or in halt.2 The messenger 3 appointed to carry these orders was 'Abdu'l-ghaffar; he was to deliver them first to Chln-tlmur SI., then to go on and shew them to the afore-named begs who were to present themselves with their troops at whatever place the' Sultan gave rendezvous {buljar) ;4 'Abdu'l-ghaffar himself was to remain with the army and was to make dutiful representation of slackness or carelessness if shewn by any person soever ; this done, we should remove the offender from the circle of the approved {inuwajjah-jlrgasl) and from his country or pa?gana. These orders having been entrusted to 'Abdu'l-ghaffar, wordsof-mouth were made known to him and he was given leave to go.

Iiaburs uses of this word support Erskine in saying that " the lawiichl is an officer who corresponds very nearly to the Turkish ehawush, or special messenger'' (Zenker, p. 346, col. iii) " hut he was also often employed to act as a commissary for providing men and stores, as a commissioner in superintending important affairs, as an aide-de-camp in carrying orders, etc."
' Here the I.lai. MS. has the full-vowelled form, bi'tljiir. Judging from what that Codex writes, biiljar may be used for a rendezvous of troops, m:ljar or b:ljar for any other kind of tryst (f. 350, p. 62S n. I; Index s.nn.), also for a shelter.
