Alphabetical Index to the Chinese characters in the Western Regions according to the Hou Han shu. ? John E. Hill September 2002 This Index contains the main geographical names, some key non-Chinese personal names and unusual terms from both the main text and the Notes, arranged in alphabetic order.  The reader will notice that I have, unfortunately, not been able to include every character variation necessary and have had to provide dictionary references instead. This is because I am working on outmoded technology (Windows 98 SE) which will not support the new standard SimSun (Founder Extended) Surson.ttf font which apparently contains some 65,000 characters and is now available for Windows XP and 2000. I should, therefore, be able to correct this defect the next time I can afford to upgrade my computer equipment and operating system. Alanliao 阿蘭聊. Previously known as Yancai 奄蔡 (‘Vast Steppes’).

See note 19.1 for details. Aman 阿蠻. Herat or, rather, the ‘kingdom’ of Ariana. The last character, man 蠻 is frequently interchanged with lǘan (Radical: 149-12) which character, unfortunately, I don’t have in my character sets but may be found in GR Vol. IV, p. 271, No. 7523. GR says that it is often used instead of man 蠻 when denoting the non-Chinese populations of the southern frontier regions of China. Andun 安敦. The Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (reigned 161 to 180 CE). Anguo 安國. The name of a Khotanese king. Anxi 安息. Parthia – the territories controlled by th
