'All Quli Khan. Native Persian scholars in reading these words, draw 

 the word <*Li to the preceding name, without the c^.»bs| ; as, Khan- 

 zainannam 'alfcmlikhan. But if the title be a word which cannot take 

 the form of the macdar, JcMtdb is constructed as mukhdtab ; e. g., 

 &Jj>iJ|cs^^ i_.lias^ &£ JlAf^i instead of ^XJy^Jio.^, which would 

 be impossible. Thus also with the word u^-^ ; you say, Arzu 

 takhalluc, Sirajuddin Khan, (jLk^.j^l ^\y» (^a-Lsr* ^f . We should 

 invert the order, according to our idiom, and say, Sirdjuddin Khan, 

 poetically styled Arzu; or, in the above example, 'Ali Quli Khan, 

 alias Khan zaman. But when the Persians put the takhalluc. after the 

 real name, they use the oJU=| ; as *U^.^-c 'Umar i Khayyam, 'Umar, 

 poetically styled Khayyam. 



The author of the fifty -eighth dictionary, Shamsuddin, poetically 

 styled Fakhri, belongs to Icfahan. 



After the sixtieth dictionary add 



{S ^ J kJ\ (j-^l jy^o >JSjbj3 Ad., FJ., Sur. This is Firclausi's 

 ustdd. The author of the second dictionary is the nephew of this 

 Mancur. It is remarkable that FJ. quotes this ancient dictionary as 

 his authority for the forms <S^j\ and £■> , with a £> .

The author of the Fa-rhang i Jahangir, Mir Jamalucldin Husain, 

 played a more important part during the reign of Jahangir. Accord- 

 ing to the Akbarnamah of Abul Faszl, he entered Akbar's service 

 during the twenty-fifth year of his reign, or about 1581. When Abul- 

 Faszl wrote the Ain, the Mir was a Hazari, or commander of one 

 thousand, not a nuhgadi, as the reading of the first note on p. 226 of 

 my Ain appears to be more correct than the reading of the text. 



The excellent work, entitled lyoJ/i^sU madsir ulumard* contains 

 the following biographical notice — 



* Vide Morley's Catalogue, p. 104. The MS. No. 77 of our Society, to judge 

 from the corrections, looks like an autograph. Besides it is almost free from 

 mistakes. It contains 574 leaves. The other MS. of our library, No, 131, hs 

 much inferior.
