XII. Bughra Khan and flak Khan in Anecdote XI.
(Text, p. 24; Persian notes, pp. 121-3.)
Our author makes an error here in x substituting the name of Bughra
Khan for that of Ilak Khan, who was Sultan Mahmud's contemporary.
Bughra Khan was the first King known to history of the Afrasiyabi or
Khani Turkish dynasty of Transoxiana. The origin of this dynasty and
the period at which they embraced Islam is involved in obscurity.
Bughra Khan's proper name is said 1
by Ibnu'l-Athir to have been
Haritn ibn Sulayman ; but, by Ibn Khaldiin, Hariin . ibn
Farrukhan
(? Qara-Khan) 'All, and Sir Henry Howorth in his article on the Af-
2
*rdsiydbi Turks prefers the latter; but as Bughra^Khan appears to "have
struck no coins, the question remains uncertain. Bughra Khan was. his
Turkish title his Islamic title ; (probably conferred by the Caliph) was
Shihabu'd-Dawla. His territories marched with China and inclu'ded most
of Eastern Turkistan, with the cities* of Kashghar and Balasaghiin, which
latter was his capital. He fought several campaigns against the Samanid
Kings, in the last of which he took their cap/tal Bukhara, but died on
s
his homeward march in 383/993 4 five or six , years before Sultan
*
Mahmiid ascended the throne of Ghazna.
He was succeeded by his nephew (or, according to Howorth, his'
brother) flak Khan, whose proper name appears to have been tyasiru'l-
Haqq Nasr flak ibn 'All ibn Miisa ibn Satuq, while his coins,
bearing dates ranging from A.H. 390 to 400 (A.D. 1000 to 1010) were
