[Footnote 11: In the Institutions of Timour, these subjects
of the khan of Kashgar are most improperly styled Ouzbegs,
or Usbeks, a name which belongs to another branch and
country of Tartars, (Abulghazi, P. v. c. v. P. vii. c. 5.)
Could I be sure that this word is in the Turkish original, I
would boldly pronounce, that the Institutions were framed a
century after the death of Timour, since the establishment
of the Usbeks in Transoxiana. Note: Col. Stewart observes,
that the Persian translator has sometimes made use of the
name Uzbek by anticipation. He observes, likewise, that
these Jits (Getes) are not to be confounded with the ancient
Getae: they were unconverted Turks. Col. Tod (History of
Rajasthan, vol. i. p. 166) would identify the Jits with the
ancient race. - M.]
