Note 95 — Chapter X
David Shea translation
Jangís khan, originally called Tamujin, was, according to Chinese and Moghul authorities (see Geschichte der Ost-mongolen von Isaak Jacob Schmidt, Seite 376), born in the year of the Hejira 558 (A. D. 1162), in Dilun Jalún. It was in the year 1206 of our era that he received, in a general assembly of submissive Tartars, the name of Jangis-khan, “Great Khan:” his own tribe, which was that of Moghuls, before him called Bida, he raised to pre-eminence over all the Tartars.
