Jin Shu Siyi Zhuan (Accounts of the Foreign Peoples of the Four Quarters in the Book of Jin) Complete in one volume The neighbours on all four sides as the Jin saw them. Here are the edict that raised up Buyeo again after Murong Hui had broken it; the customs of Mahan and Jinhan and their sacred ground, the sodo; the hosi arrows and stone arrowheads of the Suksin; and the tale of seven generations of Tuyuhun, which began when an elder and a younger brother parted after their horses fell to fighting.
1The state of Kangju
康居國在大宛西北可二千里，與粟弋、伊列鄰接。其王居蘇薤城。風俗及人貌、衣服略同大宛。地和暖，饒桐柳蒲陶，多牛羊，出好馬。泰始中，其王那鼻遣使上封事，並獻善馬。
The state of Kangju lies about two thousand li northwest of Dayuan, and it borders on Suyi and Yilie. Its king dwells in the city of Suxie. Their customs, the look of the people, and their clothing are much the same as in Dayuan. The land is mild and warm, rich in paulownia and willow and grapes; there are many cattle and sheep, and it produces fine horses. In the Taishi years its king Nabi sent an envoy to send up a sealed memorial (封事), and he presented fine horses as well.
