The author means the mountains of the present Gkazi- Gkumugk, which, being the 
residence Of some of the former Shamkhals, onee gave ïts name to the greater part of 
Daghistän, as we may perceive by the expression dE Ébe s inserted in the note to the 
preceding remark. During the reign of Sultan Murad [V., Mahmüd-Khan of Gkémugk, on his 
pilgrimage to Mekkeh arrived at Constantinople, where he was kindly received by the Sultan. 
In 1058 of the Æiÿret, his eldest son Gkorgkmaz JL 5 having fallen in a battle with the 
Tcherkesses, his second son Zthilinder Joils occupiéd the throne of his father, and became
