Note 307 — Chapter XIX · Sultan Sanjar and the Kara-Khitāys
Reading edition
Some scholars have wished to identify this name with Kirmān in Persia, but this seems most improbable. Bretschneider (op. cit. i. 216, note) suggests Kerminé, which is the site of the summer quarters of the present Amīr of Bokhārā. Cf. also Howorth, loc. cit.
