Those whom we name Moguls call themselves _Zagetai_, in the same manner as the Spaniards call themselves Goths. Zagetai is the name of the province which they inhabited in Great Tartary near Turkestan, and the nobles do not permit themselves to be called Moguls. According to the Persians, the Moguls are descended of Magog the grandson of Noah, from whom they received the worship of the _one_ only God. Wandering through many provinces, this nation established themselves in _Mogalia_ or _Mongolia_, otherwise _Mogostan_, called Paropamissus by Ptolemy. At this time they extend farther, and border upon the kingdom of _Horacam_ or _Chorassan_, called _Aria_, or _Here_ by that ancient geographer. From the extreme north, the Moguls extend to the river _Geum_ or _Jihon_, which runs through _Bohara_ or _Bucharia_, the ancient _Bactria_, so named from its capital, the celebrated seat of learning from the time of _Zoroaster_, and where _Avicenna_ acquired the knowledge which made him so famous. _Bucharia_, or _Bactria_ borders upon _Quiximir_ or _Cashmire_ and Mount _Caucasus_, which divides India from the provinces of Tartary in the north. This kingdom of the Moguls now reaches to the mountainous regions of _Parveti_ and _Bagous_ which they call _Angou_ [199]. As in this dominion there ace great mountains, so there are likewise very large and fruitful plains, watered by five rivers which compose the Indus. These are the _Bet, Satinague, Chanao, Rave_, and _Rea_[200]. The cities of this country are numerous and, the men courageous. [Footnote 199: De Faria becomes here unintelligible, unless he here means the range of mountains which bound Hindostan, particularly on the north-west, including Cashmir and Cabul; which seems probable as immediately followed in the text by the _Punjab_, or country on the _five rivers_ composing the Indus.--E.] [Footnote 200: These rivers are so strangely perverted in their orthography as hardly to be recognisable, and some of them not at all. The true _Punjab_ or five rivers is entirely on the east of the Indus, Sinde or Nilab. Its five rivers are the Behut or Hydaspes, Chunab or Acesinas, Rauvee or Hydraotes, Setlege or Hesudrus, and a tributary stream of the last named the Hyphasis by the ancients. These two last are the Beyah and Setlege of the moderns. The Kameh and Comul run into the Indus to the west of the Punjab--E.]
