The "Nine Tatars" and the "Thirty Tatars" are tribal names mentioned in ancient Turkic runic inscriptions. However, the relationship between the two is not clear. The "Thirty Tatars" are identified in Chinese historical documents as Shiwei (室韋). A comparative analysis of Chinese sources, ancient Turkic runic inscriptions, and document P.T.1283 found in Dunhuang allows us to conclude that the Jue (鞠) in the Chinese sources correspond to the Cik tribe in the Turkic runic inscriptions and that they resided in the upper reaches of the Kern River. In the mid-8th century, one of the Shiwei tribal groups migrated to the middle reaches of the Selenge River, while another, the Yuzhe (兪折), migrated to the area between lakes Khubsugul and Baikal. These tribal groups of the Shiwei can be identified as the Khe-rged tribes and the seven tribes of Ye-dre mentioned in document P.T.1283, and at the same time as the "Thirty Tatars". As for the name of the tribal group, the "Thirty Tatars", this was in use during the period from the Second Eastern Turkic Khaganate till the Uyghur Khaganate. Under the Tang Dynasty, the notion of the "Thirty Tatars" referred to the Shiwei, which comprised of 26 to 27 tribes. And the "Nine Tatars" referred to a part of the "Thirty Tatars".
