# {{note|Roman}} That is, the language of the [[Byzantine Empire]], [[Byzantine Greek language|Greek]].
# {{note|Frankish}} It is unclear to what specific language Ibn Khordadbeh refers. The word ''"Firanj"'' can be used to mean "[[Franks|Frank]]" and thus most likely the language referred to is either the [[Vulgar Latin]] dialect that ultimately evolved into [[French language|French]] or the [[Germanic language]] originally spoken by the Franks, called [[Old Frankish language|Old Frankish]] by linguists. However, in the Middle Ages ''Firanj'' was a generic term used by Arabs (and Eastern Christians) for Western Europeans generally. It is possible that Ibn Khordadbeh uses "Frank" as a counterpoint to "Roman" ([[Byzantine Greek language|Byzantine Greek]]), indicating that the Radhanites spoke the languages of both Eastern and Western Christians.
# {{note|France}} Though some, such as Moshe Gil, maintain that "Firanja" as used in this context refers to the Frankish-occupied areas of [[Italy]], and not to France proper. Gil 299–310.
# {{note|Khordadbeh}} Adler 2–3; for alternative translations ''see, e.g.,'' [[De Goeje]] 114; Rabinowitz 9–10; Among the minor differences between the accounts is Rabinowitz's rendering of "Khamlif" in place of "Khamlidj" and his reference to the "Yourts of the Toghozghuz" as opposed to Yurt and Toghuzghuz as separate entities. Rabinowitz's version, translated, means "Tents of the Uyghurs". ''See also'' Dunlop 138, 209, 230.
