4. Diwanu’I-Khatam Von Kremer, Ameer Ali, Mez and Levy write that this Board was displaced by Diwanu’I-Tawqi. Al-Jahshiyari mentions Diwanu’I-Khatam under several of the Abbasid rulers. According to him, this Board was in existence even under al-Amin (809-814 A.D.) Mez writes that Diwanu’t-Tawqi’ was presided over by Ja’far, the great Wazir of Harun Rashid (786-809 A.D) Ja’far presided over Diwanu’n-Nazri fi’I-Mazalim, and the orders were known as the tawqi’at Thus we sec that Diwanu’I- Khatam continued Political am-id Cultural History of Islam d^, ,£ even after the e2=stablishment of Diwanu’t-Tawqi. Whatever

it . jefinite that Diwawnu’I-Khatam continued till and during the
