248.4.4

The country of the I-ghurs is described as containing two great ranges of mountains, one of which they call Kara-Tu, and the other, Uskun-Luk, and the mountain (range?) of Kara-Kuram lies between these two ranges. The residence built by Uktae Khan near it is named after this koh of Kara-Kuram. To the south of these two great ranges, before named, is another which they style Kut-Tagh. Out of one of these ranges ten rivers flow, and out of the other nine; and, in ancient times, the I-ghurs dwelt along the banks of these rivers. Those who dwelt on the ten [un] rivers were called On-I-ghurs, and those who were located on the nine [tokuz] Tokuz-I-ghurs. There were some other tribes dwelling near them, but space forbids my going into farther detail here.
