² *KFB*, Part II, pp. 226-27. Another son of Dāhir, Śiṣah was also treacherously killed by Junayd. Many of these places are not yet definitely identified. Jurz is probably the Gurjara State of Western India. Elliot identified Kīraj with Cutch and Mandal with Okā-Mandal in Gujarat; see *Elliot*, I, pp. 126, fn. 2, 390-91, 441-42. Recently Dr. R. C. Majumdar had identified Mirmad (Marmad of *Elliot*, I, p. 126) with the Maru-Māra referred to in a Ghatiyala inscription which includes Jaisalmer and parts of Jodhpur State. Mandal, according to him, is probably Mandor, while al-Bailamān probably refers to the circle of states mentioned in another Ghatiyala inscription as Vallamaṇḍala. Al-Malībah is taken by Murgotten as Malabar, by Elliot as Malwa or Malabar, while according to Dr. Majumdar it evidently means "eastern and western Malwa." See *JL*, 1923, Vol. X, pp. 21-22. Dr. Barnett suggests can Bailamān (بیلمان) be Bhilmāl, (بهيلمال), now Bhinmāl.
