Mesalik p. 75. and Djehan-numa p. 399.) it is evident that both of them meant J J to be 
different from sw. — Hamdul-lah-Almustauf, says nothing of Ja; his description of Jen 
contains, nothing more than what we find in other authors, only he says that Semender was 
built by Anushirvân, that-it is at the distance of two or four days journey on foot from Derbend 
or rather from-Serir and that at the authors time it was called #besb, the residence of Batu.

Remark 16. page 460. line 10 and 27. er, 
Inji is the name of a great city, which, according to our author was situated at the distance 
Of 3 pharsaks, or about 9!7, English miles (reckoning every pharsakh to contain something more 
than 19,000 feet) from Zarkhou, on the :very.shore of the Caspian ,sea. Reinegos supposéd it 
to have been in the same place where Peter the Great built the fortifications of PBülägk ; but 
we find, between Derbend and Tarkhou, a little river bearing to this day the name of Inji, at 
the mouth of which, according to Klaproth, the Turcomans suppose the-ruins of this ancient 
city.torbe, and pretend to find traces of them. But, accordmg to all the copies of the Derbend- 
nâmeh, Inji or Indjeh, is supposed to have been to the North of Tarkhou. — The founda- 
tion of this city and of Semender is attributed, in our MS. and in the version of St. Peters- 
burg, to Ænushirvän, but in Klaproth’s translation it is attributed to the Khaghän. From Mus- 
s'oudi and some others we may understand that this town as well as Semender vas Purle by 
Anushirvän, but afterwards became the Capital of the Khâgkân. See Voyage d'Abou-el

Remark 17. page 460 line 10 and 27. sb 
- In the MS. in my possession it is & belj, which ïs a mistake; in the MSS. of Berlin and 
SE. Petérsburg- we find é belkh. In the translation of Zbnu-l-a’asam (Kitäbul-futüh , or the book 
of victory) by 4hmedi-l-mäiznabadi, as well as in Teberi, it is mostly &b bulkhar, which 
is given by the best authors for a city of the Khazars, although theïr description of the city 
bearing this name, is in general confused and inexact. Teberi says that the country of Bulkhar 
lies beyound the Khazars and that its limits are at the distance of 200 pharsukhs, or some 
thing more than 830 English miles, from Derbend. But the author of The book of Victory 
says, that DSL was-a. Khazarian city, which, according to his description, must, have been si- 
tuated at no great distance from Derbend *. He says, that Se/män having been sent by the Kha- 
lif (Osman) against the Khazars, arrived at Derbend; but not finding the enemy there, conti- 
_: nued on his way until he came to a city called l Er Berghua; here, also, he did not find 
them, and he therefore went on in pursuit of the Khaghan, till at last he arrived at the city 
of Bulkhar ,: where Selmäân lost the battle and his life. (See the Appendix Extract Il.) This Æb 
S Abu-l- feda calls it sb Belenjer and many follow him in this reading.
