The Nāṣirī Generations 258.3.3

258.3.3

When the news of the taking of Samrkand, and of the or Lukah, soon after found that the Makrits were again preparing for war. There is considerable discrepancy with regard to these events, and some oriental writers have, through the carelessness of copyists, apparently, turned two events into one, with respect to Kodu and the sons of the late Bigi Tukta, and his nephews, and Tuk-Tughan, the Makrit. At the period in question, Kodu and his nephews were residing in the Naeman country, and were regaining strength, which they were using in support of Koshluk, the Naeman sovereign, who, at this time, had seized the last of the Gur Khans, and his dominions. The Makrits had likewise incited other tribes of Mughals, who were quite ready to do so, to throw off the yoke of the Chingiz Khan, under which they had fallen. Among the tribes instigated to war by them were the Tum-at or Tum-ad Mughals [turned into “Comat,” in the Kashghar Mission History, a different tribe from the Burghuts or Burkuts], who were dwelling in the tracts towards the south-east from Kashghar—now part of the great sandy desert—towards the frontier of Khita, about the Kok Nawar, incorrectly written Kokonor in our maps.
