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. - [Previous: 248.4.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.248.4.3) - [Next: 248.4.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.248.4.5) - [Up: 248.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.248.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.248.4.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.248.4.4) · Pramāṇa
