page 404 note 1 It must be remembered that we do not actually know that wang corresponds to šāh.

page 404 note 2 We may here note that Chavannes, , T'oung Pao, 1907, p. 191Google Scholar, translates the passage “he elected himself king; the name of his kingdom was Kuei-shuang”, and not “he used the dynastic title king of the Kuei-shuang”. It certainly can be translated “he used the dynastic title king of Kuei-shuang” as de Groot does. It is impossible to tell from the Chinese whether the name is of a people or their country.

page 406 note 1 Some at least originally genitive plurals; e.g., Gīlān, of. Gelœ, Γλαι; but this was soon lost sight of; and it must be remembered that, when an Arab geographer talks of the he means “king of Gīlān” and not “king of the Gēls”.
