Krumbates
Krumbates was a king of the Chionitae, an ancient nomadic tribe of Transoxiana, his name being possibly Kurumpat (from Old Turkic *Qurum-pat, "ruling prince";[1][2] Old Turkic pat, "chieftain", either directly borrowed from Iranian pat, "ruler"[3] or evolved from Old Turkic baş, "head, leader"[4]). Qurum (from Old Turkic qurum, "rule, leadership, administration")[3][5][6] in the form of Krum is attested in the royal Bulgar princes lines as well as in the Greek traditions as a designation of Bulgar Khans.[2][6] It has been suggested that Krumbates could also be composed of Iranian -bat, from Iranian pat, "ruler"; cf. Persian pād, "master".[3][6]
