SOURCES ON THE HEPHTHALITE HISTORY是同作者《嚈噠史料輯注》一書的英文版，是作者對中外嚈噠史相關史料的全面輯注。作者自1979年開始研究嚈噠史以來，一直沒有停止收集與嚈噠史直接有關的資料。他將已收集到者結集，編成《嚈噠史料輯注》。除漢語的若干篇外，計有希臘—拉丁語的11種、亞美尼亞語3種、敘利亞語2種、梵語10種、阿拉伯語3種、波斯語3種和藏語1種。采錄入書者，除1種繫法語外，其餘均為英譯。作者謙遜地認為，之所以不考慮漢譯之，蓋英譯出諸各語文專家之手，譯文與原文幾乎是等值的，若轉譯為漢語，這本史料集的價值勢必大打。至於古漢語資料，為了和全書保持一致，作者轉譯成英語。
