¹¹ Sir Henry Elliot's translation and transliteration of Rahanjúr (History of India, I. 61) are, be it said with all respect to the memory of that great scholar, inaccurate. He cannot make anything of the word (note 3) while in the Arabic Text of Sachau (page 100) the first letter is a plain *r* = ر and not *z* = ز. From the context also the ancient town of Rándir seems to be meant. It is plainly written (رنجور) Rahanjúr and is very likely the copyist's mistake for the very similar form (رندير) or Ráhandúr.
