Background
The book "Zikr Akhbar Isfahan" by Abu Naim Isfahani (deceased 430 A.H.) is the oldest work of reference citing two chroniclers nickname "Khorasgani" which makes reference to Khorasgan. Samani (deceased 562 A.H. = 1142 A.D.) too has referred to the nickname "Khorasgani" and to "Abu Jafar Ahmad bin Almofazzal Almo'addab Alkhorasgani Alisfahani" a chronicler of 2 A.H.(582 A.D.) in his work "Alkitab Alansab".
Yaqut Humavi quoting Sam'ani makes the same comment in Mu'jam Albuldan.
