[2] Although Frantz Grenet uses the phrase "Kingdom of Rob", Khodadad Rezakhani points out that Bactrian documents never refer to the ruler of Rob as a king ("ϸαο", related to the word shah), instead always using the term χαραγγο, or "lord".

[4] The area controlled by Rob included Madr (or Malr), Kah (modern Kahmard), and the unidentified locations of Rizm and Gandar.

[3] To the south was the major city of Bamiyan, which only rarely is mentioned in documents from Rob, probably because of the large mountain range separating the two areas.

[1] The Alchon Huns ruler Mehama appears in a letter in the Bactrian language he wrote in 461-462 CE, when he declares himself a governor of the Sasanian Emperor Peroz I.

Another, undated documents, mentions: Sartu, the son of Hwade-gang, the prosperous Yabghu of the Hepthalite people (ebodalo shabgo); Haru Rob, the scribe of the Hephthalite ruler (ebodalo eoaggo), the judge of Tokharistan and Gharchistan.
