The correct Turkish name of the third of the Slave Kings of Delhi, Shams ud-Dīn Iltutmish, so long read as Altmish or Altamsh, has been finally decided as Iltutmish, i.e. one who has seized and holds the country, corresponding more or less to the Persian Jahāngīr. This name was also borne by the Uighur Khan who introduced the Manichæan religion among his people about 760 A.D. (see F. W. K. Müller, Uigurica, ii, p. 95. See also an interesting note by Horovitz, Epigraphia Indo-Moslemica, 1911–12, p. 21). This name occurs on at least one coin in Nagari script, where it seems to read Lititimi (see The Coins of the Sultans of Delhi in the British Museum, 1884, p. 15). This, while disposing of the misreadings Altamsh and Altmish, does not quite suit the reading Iltutmish. The Nagari inscription according to this catalogue reads: Sri Sultā Lititimi, (Samvat) 1283. I have always doubted the correctness of this reading, and recently I asked Mr. Allan, of the British Museum, to look into the matter, and he was good enough to send me the following note: “ I think the form Altamsh owes its origin to a careless reading of a coin like Brit. Mus. Catalogue Sultans of Delhi, pl. ii, No. 37, in which the engraver was a little cramped for space.
