fidelity of Klaproth's translation, who perhaps might have been misled by some orthographical 
error, or some other defect in the text of the original Berlin MS. — The MS. of St. Peters-

ï. e. (Djerrdh) «sent twelve (two?) thousand warriors under the command of the chief of the 
right division (or wing) for the purpose of ravaging and plundering the Gkaitaghs ; he orde- 
red their children to be captured, and to lay waste (their country) with slaughter and pillage ; 
but (said he) you must return before sunrise, for we are (yet) to encounter an enemy like the 
son of the Khaghan.» — In this reading we find something about the ravage, pillage and cap- 
tivity of the enemy,-and even the expression «an enemy as powerful as the son of the Kha- 
ghan» — that accords with Klaproth’s translation in words, but in quite a different sense, 
A order to prove that both passages of the MS. of Si. Petersburg and Berlin are one and the same, 
we may read the w=ëb of Klaproth 4e or asisb which in our MS. and in that of St. 
Petersburg is 4SS? and take his yéE sl for gré) Ji! which means their children; 
now if we put these words in their proper places, for example Je) ass US AS Jys 
JL 0 eg pl Je? os El ol Jil ni Uyst) Eli ak aol y) él), we shall then 
have a reading parallel to that of the St. Petersburg MS., and the error of Klaproth will be 
obvious. Were it. in my power to consult the original MS. of Berlin, I have little doubt that 
my supposition would prove true and my reading of this place, very nearly so as it is in that 
MS., excepting perhaps some orthographical errors which I suspect in that version. We see the 
same fault concerning JE Sr À) repeated by Klaproth in another place, in his translation 
(see this part Rem. 26.) which more fully justifies our opinion. 
In our MS. all this is expressed very shortly and distinctly; but nothing is said about en- 
countering a great enemy like the son of the Khaghan. 
Remark 11. page 518. Cs=» 
In the MS. of Berlin it ïs erroneously written {«» which Klaproth corrects and says: 
Aujourd'hui Ærsi dans le Thabasarân, à la droite de Derbâkh. The Fersi of the present day is 
situated in the lower Tabasarân in the Mehal of Tat. 
Remark 12. page 518. ÊRS 
In the, MS. of Berlin EM? and, in that of St. Petersburg Élu». — Klaproth places it: 
«Tout à fait dans le haut des montagnes, dans le Kara-Kaïtak et sur la frontière du Thabasa-. 
rân à la droite du Darbäkb. » Duvek is rather situated on the N. W. frontier of the lower Ta- 
basaran, on the right bank of the Darvägk-tchäy, almost half- way between Kubetchi and Derbend.
