Mohammedan authorities write Kanbàyäh or 1,,s Kanbàyat. On this port of
Guzerat, the Cambay of our maps, cf. Y, II, 398; Y', Iv, 285; Hobson-Jobson2, 150; Fe, 203 and 709; DAMES, Barbosa, I, 117, 138-140; HALLBERG, 101-102. To the early mentions quoted by YULE and DAMES, add perhaps that of Ya'qûbi c. 875-880 (Fe, 4.8), and certainly that of the Hudûd al-'Alam of 982-983 (cf. Mi, 245). Almost in Polo's time, the city was also referred to as « Combaeth » in 1307 by Hethum, as « Cambeth » in 1320 by Marino Sanudo, and as « Cambaeyt» in 1314-1328 by Guillaume Adam (Hist. des Crois., Arm., II, 126, 266, 552). Pegolotti's «lacca conbaiti » or « ganbainti » is probably « Cambay lac » (ed. EVANS, 420).
Cambay is mentioned in 1225 by Chao Ju-Kua in the form it . Kan-p'a-i (then
pronounced *Kam-b'a-•jét) ; cf. HR, 88, 90. It is written it A X K'an-pa-yeh in the early 15th cent. map published by PHILLIPS (and once, by a clerical error, K'êng [ fj~ ] -pa-yeh, which PHILLIPS has wrongly adopted in his list, JNCB, xx, 224). The effj Ch'ien-po (then read K'ien-pai) of YS, 12, 4 b, s. a. 1282, has been identified with Cambay by KUWABARA (Mem. of Toyo bunko, 7, 87). But, because of the names associated with it, it must be Kampe in Sumatra, on which cf. BEFEO, iv, 344; Fe, 652.
