XII. Bughra Khan and flak Khan in Anecdote XI.<br />
(Text, p. 24; Persian notes, pp. 121-3.)<br />
Our author makes an error here in x substituting the name of Bughra<br />
Khan for that of Ilak Khan, who was Sultan Mahmud's contemporary.<br />
Bughra Khan was the first King known to history of the Afrasiyabi or<br />
Khani Turkish dynasty of Transoxiana. The origin of this dynasty and<br />
the period at which they embraced Islam is involved in obscurity.<br />
Bughra Khan's proper name is said 1<br />
by Ibnu'l-Athir to have been<br />
Haritn ibn Sulayman ; but, by Ibn Khaldiin, Hariin . ibn<br />
Farrukhan<br />
(? Qara-Khan) 'All, and Sir Henry Howorth in his article on the Af-<br />

*rdsiydbi Turks prefers the latter; but as Bughra^Khan appears to "have<br />
struck no coins, the question remains uncertain. Bughra Khan was. his<br />
Turkish title his Islamic title ; (probably conferred by the Caliph) was<br />
Shihabu'd-Dawla. His territories marched with China and inclu'ded most<br />
of Eastern Turkistan, with the cities* of Kashghar and Balasaghiin, which<br />
latter was his capital. He fought several campaigns against the Samanid<br />
Kings, in the last of which he took their cap/tal Bukhara, but died on<br />
s<br />
his homeward march in 383/993 4 five or six , years before Sultan<br />
*<br />
Mahmiid ascended the throne of Ghazna.<br />
He was succeeded by his nephew (or, according to Howorth, his'<br />
brother) flak Khan, whose proper name appears to have been tyasiru'l-<br />
Haqq Nasr flak ibn 'All ibn Miisa ibn Satuq, while his coins,<br />
bearing dates ranging from A.H. 390 to 400 (A.D. 1000 to 1010) were<br />
