page 455 note 1 DrSchuyler, (Turkistan, Low, Sampson, 1876Google Scholar) spells Khujend “Hodjent” both in map and text. He also writes “Hodjas” (sea index s.n.). This variant may serve to partly explain Klaproth's “Hūdschī”.

page 455 note 2 As to the suggestion of a year of the Turkī cycle, Mr. Beveridge has given me the following note:—“As regards the mysterious word sīmū tū, I make two suggestions, neither of them, however, having weight One is that sīmū tū may be a corruption of Sin-mao, the Chinese name for the 25th or 28th year of the Jovian cycle. (See Prinsep's Useful Tables, p. 31.) If the note were made by a Kāshgharā, he might have inserted the Chinese year. Sin-mao means Iron-ape, and seems to correspond to Maimūn (ape), one of the years of the Igurian cycle. This leads me to my second suggestion, which is that sāmū tū is a mistake for maimūn. Unfortunately, I cannot make the Maimūn year fit in with 957 A.H. It may be that if the Igurian cycle be taken as beginning with Taushqān, the Hare, as the Chinese does, Maimūn, the Ape, could be brought to harmonize with 957 A.H., and thus to explain Klaproth's sīmū tū.”
