1The Bailan
白蘭者，羌之別種也。其地東北接吐谷渾，西北至利模徒，南界那鄂，風俗物產與宕昌畧同。保定元年，遣使獻犀甲鐵鎧。
The Bailan are a separate branch of the Qiang. Their land touches the Tuyuhun to the northeast, reaches Limotu to the northwest, and borders Na'e to the south. Their customs and products are much the same as those of Dangchang. In the first year of Baoding they sent an envoy and presented armor of rhinoceros hide and armor of iron.
Interlinear notes 1
西北至利模徒南界那鄂通典卷一九０白蘭條作「西至叱利摸徒，南界郡鄂」。北史卷九六白蘭傳無「至」字，「模」作「摸」。
For "it reaches Limotu to the northwest and borders Na'e to the south," the Tongdian, in the section on Bailan, reads "it reaches Chilimotu to the west and borders Jun'e to the south." The Bei shi, in the account of Bailan, has no character 至, and writes 模 as 摸.
