^{page 551 note 2} Yādgār Nāsir Mīrzā, son of Bābur's youngest brother Nāsir, seems to be the same person as Yādgār Mīrzā or Beg. Yādgār Nāsir Beg was executed by Humāyūn (H. Beveridge).

^{page 556 note 1} “Ac Zelaldini mater nec regium genus nec dignitatem Cinguiscani, in Zelaldinum transfudit: fuit enim, privati cujusdam tribuni filia. Vocabatur Txoëlii Beygum et anteaquam Emaumo nuberet data fuerat a parentibus Cayacano uxor” (Commentarius, p. 656).Google Scholar The last clause, intimating that Hamīda, before her marriage with Humāyūn, had been given by her parents to one “Cayacanus” (?Kāim Khān), must apparently refer to a betrothal, not to a consummated union. De Laet, owing to his confusion between the two ladies, gives the epithet “Chūlī Bēgam” to the wrong one.

^{page 560 note 1} De Laet confuses Maryam Makānī, the mother, with Maryam Zamānī, the wife of Akbar. “Gynaecea, uti unura Mariam Makany uxoris Achabaris et matris Ziangier” (De Imperio Magni Mogolis, 1631, 2nd issue, p. 42).Google Scholar Lethbridge in his translation duly notes the error (Calc.
