魏略西域傳曰。短人國在康居西北。男女皆長三尺。眾甚多。康居長老傳問。甞有商迷惑失道而到此國。國中甚多貝珠夜光明珠。商度此國。去康居可萬餘里。

The Chapter on the Western Regions in the Weilüe states: “The Country of Short People is northwest of Kangju. Men and women are all three chi tall, and they are very numerous. The elders of Kangju passed down the account that a merchant once lost his way and arrived in this country. In the country there were great quantities of cowries, pearls, and luminous pearls. The merchant estimated that this country is over ten thousand li away from Kangju.”
