Jinhan辰韓

Jinhan.〔Also written Jinhan (秦韓).〕

The Book of Later Han says this.

"The elders of Jinhan say of themselves: 'Exiles from Qin came to the country of Han, and Mahan cut off land on its eastern border and gave it to them. They call one another do (徒), which is like the speech of Qin, and so it is sometimes named Jinhan (秦韓).'

There are twelve small states, each of ten thousand households, and each is called a state."

Also, Choe Chiwon says: "The people of Jinhan were originally men of Yan who fled there. So they took the name of the Zhuo River (涿水) and called the towns where they lived Satak, Jeomtak, and so on."

〔In the speech of the Silla people the sound of 'tak' is read 'do'. Now it is also written Saryang, and 'ryang' too is read 'do'.〕

When Silla was at its fullest strength, within the capital there were one hundred seventy-eight thousand nine hundred and thirty-six households, one thousand three hundred and sixty wards (坊), and fifty-five villages (里).

There were thirty-five gold-entered houses (金入宅).〔This means large houses of wealth and plenty.〕
