Ff. 28-end is in more than one hand and may contain sections of different compositions. Part is concerned with the rulers of Astrakhan. Apparently, not so much 'A Short History of the Sultans of Mawara al-Nahr' as a fragment of the Sharaf-namah. This is stated in a note inserted in the MS. It begins with an account of Changiz Khan's wives and sons.
