300 BC | 300 BC

|
201 BC | V. Carlgren: Ethnonym Kypchak (Kyjchak) in Chinese annals is Tsujshe (Kujshe, Kuche, Kyueshe, Kushi, Kushu, Kuchuk) | |
201 BC | Tsujshe are first listed among people conquered by Maotun in 201 BC, along with Geguns, ancestors of Enisei Kirgizes | |

Genealogy: Gaogyuys (Chinese ”High Coach”)=Tele (Türk. ”Coach” =15 tribes = 1 Uange (Uygurs) 2 Seyanto (Sir + Yanto) 3 Kibi 4 Dubo (Tubalar)(Dabo)(Tele) 5 Guligan (Kurykan)(Yakut) 6 Dolange (Telengits) 7 Bugu (Pugu)(Uygurs) 8 Bayegu (Baiyrku)( Uygurs) 9 Tunlo (Tongra)(Uygurs) 10 Hun 11 Sygye (Uygurs) 12 Husye 13 Higye 14 Adye(Eduz) 15 Baysi (Barsil) |

377 | Ammianus: Romans had their Saracen horses. This is 500 years before Saracen=Kumans=Kipchaks show up, 250 years before Muhammad, 600 years before Saracens become synonymous with Moslems. The channel for Saracens to supply horses for Roman army is unknown, if they were not a part of Sary As Alans who served in Roman elite forces. Later application of ”Saracen” to Kipchaks may be of generalized character. Ptolemy's Geography refers to distinct from Arabs Σαρακηνός Sarakenoi people in north-western Arabian peninsula. Ascribing horse trading to Bedouins in 4th c. Arabia is problematic because knowledge of horse breeding and horsemanship was brought to Arabia and first to Bedouins only after conversion of Persians to Islam in 7th century AD, adding horses to their traditional camels | |
