"On the other hand, this building is called in the country Kashana, which is obviously the corruption of Ghazana or Ghazanlya. It was built at the end of the seventh century of the Hegira, probably between the years 694 H. (I295), date of the accession to the throne of Sultan Ghazan, and 700 H. (I30I), date of the construction of the connecting corridor. (translated from French)"
