² Herzfeld, *Sakastan* p. 23, and his map facing p. 24 (following de Groot pp. 106–8, see p. 307 n. 4). But Herzfeld’s whole scheme is coloured by his mistake about Ta-yuan (App. 10), and there is nothing in the sources to show that *at this time* the K’ang-kiu were southward of Ferghana at all: the accounts both of Ssu-ma Ch’ien (Hirth p. 95 §20) and Pan-ku (Wylie p. 44; de Groot p. 109) represent Chang-k’ien as putting them *northward* of it, and this is a passage in which Pan-ku is correcting a mistake of Chang-k’ien’s on another geographical point (p. 477).
