They arrived there as their state known in Chinese sources as Han Zhao was displaced by Later Zhao. They became better known as Kidarites from 360 AD after their leader Kidara established their only recorded dynasty. After their union with the Uar (Chinese: 滑), the Kidarite "Red" Hiun under the Yuezhi Haital elite pushed into India where they became known as the Hunas.
