Unlike modern prose، the prose of Tarikh-e Beyhaghi is highly flexible and at times varies based on the expediency factor; hence، it can be used as a very special tool in critical recension of Beyhaghi’s text and those with similar characteristics. To this end، the structures of those sentences different in two editions are determined; then by calculating the frequencies of those structures in the whole text، normal word orders are recognized. Expediency factor is also taken into account at the same time. This enables us to decide which sentence structure is closer to the normal style. This method of critical recension is unprecedented. To demonstrate how word order can be employed، we extract some sentences from Yahaghi and Seyyedi editions and compare them to that of Fayyaz

In the criticism and correction of the manuscripts of Tarikh-i Bayhaqi and other texts—provided they possess word order flexibility like Tarikh-i Bayhaqi—this possibility can be utilized.
Research Methodology In our investigation, we first identified instances of word order discrepancies by comparing the two corrections of Yaqaghi-Sidi and Fayyad.
In the next stage, by searching through Tarikh-i Bayhaqi (Fayyad and Yaqaghi-Sidi editions), we recorded similar word orders for each instance of discrepancy.
In similar cases, Bayhaqi always wants to refer to a duration of time alongside verbs like "coming," and he brings the adverb with a preposition, not alone: «And he said that I should move after three days.
Therefore, its use without a demonstrative particle (as seen in the manuscript of Yaqaghi and Sidi) is not Bayhaqi-esque; thus, in all probability, the form of Fayyad's printing, which essentially chooses the restrictive form, could be correct.
Another noteworthy point is that in eight of the examined cases, Fayyad's printing, and in three cases, Yaqaghi and Sidi's printing, are closer to the common word order and the requirements of the situation.
