At this point, the Fanakati, who gives but a very brief notice of the Chingiz Khan's ancestors, seems quite at sea. He says nothing whatever about Aghuz Khan's five successors, but states that, “after Ughuz had conquered many countries, and had become firmly established, he despatched some of his sons and kinsmen, with other persons, and a body of forces into the east, into the parts now, i. e. in his time, called Mughulistan [only Aghuz himself was ruler of Mughulistan as his forefathers had been before him], and, after a period of 4000 years, one among the Badshahs of Khitae began to make expeditions against those peoples, crossed the Kara Muran or Black River, made a night attack upon them, and massacred the whole [of the males], and carried off into captivity their women and children. Of that people, but two persons, named Naguz and Kaian, with their families, fled into the mountain tract which they call Irkanah — — in one copy, and Irakanah Kun — — in another, entered it, and there continued to dwell for a period of 400 years, during which time they increased to such degree that that tract became too confined for them,” &c.
