Account of McLwevcLlncihr, or TrcmsoxcinicL.
To the eastern side of Maweralnahr are, the borders of Hin-
doostan. To the west it has the land of Ghaznein, and
the borders of Tourcrn, and down to l — I at ah, and
Markand, and u X a - kw Soghd, and Samarcand,
and the district of Bokhara, as far as Kharazm,
and the banks of the sea Deria).
On the north of Maweralnahr are the borders of
Turkestan, as far as aJliy Ferghanah, and down towards
Khotl, on the river Heriat. To the south, Mawer-
alnahar begins from Badakhshan, along the river
^ysfi^Jihoon, up to the sea or lake of Kharazm
Deriay Kharezm) in a straight line. We place Kharazm and
Khotl in Maweralnahar, because Khotl is situated between the
river Heriat and the river IFekhshah ujUL c L j 0>; and the
town of Kharazm is on that side of the river, and nearer to
Maweralnahr than to Khorasan.
