Translation of Hou-hn-shu, chapter 88: hsi-yu-chuen, the first principal account of Ta-t'sin. This lasted until the 9th year of the Yen-shi period during the Emperor Huna-ti's reign (AD 166) when the king of Ta-ts'in, An-tun, sent an embassy which, from the frontier of Jik-nan (Annam) offered ivory, rhinoceros horn and tortoise shell.
