Tāmūr (« iron » in Turk. and Mong.); the name is quite common. This is Chên-chin's (see
« Cinchim ») third son, according to Chinese as well as Persian sources. Tāmūr is the name under
which he was known before his accession to the throne (Pa, 263, is quite wrong on that point);
when he succeeded Qubilai, he took the title of Öljäitü, «Fortunate» (cf. YS, 18, 1 a; Bl, II, 358),
while his posthumous title is 成 宗 Ch'êng-tsung, « Perfect Ancestor » (B¹, 448, is mistaken on the

and died on February 10, 1307.

There ought to have been no discussion about the name since KLAPROTH, more than a century
ago, derived it from 天 德 軍 T'ien-tê-chün, the « army of T'ien-tê ». But PAUTHIER, though he
was faced with a correct interpretation, opposed it at once. In spite of PALLADIUS's additional
arguments and of my own indications in JA, 1912, I, 595-596 (alluded to in Y, III, 62, where I am
