²⁹ T.M.S., 184. T.A., 266, has كهورك الان بشمس آباد دارند (Khorak which is now famous by the name of Shamsābād). It is situated in 27° 33′ N and 79° 33′ E about 6 miles east of Shamsābād. The old town of Khor was founded about the beginning of the 13th century by a Rathor chief. To-day it is nothing more than a mound called the Kot or fort of the Khor Rajas. Some Kanyakubja Brahmans still use the old name and call themselves as "Khor kē Pandē". The modern town of Shamsābād was built upon the ruins of Khor. It lies 18 miles N.W. of Fatehgarh, and had a fort in Akbar's time. Āīn, II, 196. District Gaz. Farukhābād, 255. Hunter, Gaz. of India, XII, 375.
