trading cities under its rule. The name of the city, Suju,
signifies in our tongue, "Earth," and that of another
near it, of which we shall speak presently, called Kinsay,
signifies "Heaven;" and these names are given because
of the great splendour of the two cities.⁴

Now let us quit Suju, and go on to another which is
called Vuju, one day's journey distant; it is a great and
fine city, rife with trade and manufactures. But as there
is nothing more to say of it we shall go on and I will tell
you of another great and noble city called Vughin. The
people are Idolaters, &c., and possess much silk and
other merchandize, and they are expert traders and crafts-
men. Let us now quit Vughin and tell you of another
city called Chiangan, a great and rich place. The people
are Idolaters, &c., and they live by trade and manu-
factures. They make great quantities of sendal of
different kinds, and they have much game in the neigh-
bourhood. There is however nothing more to say about
the place, so we shall now proceed.⁵
