Sultania or Sultanie. The Caspian; so called in this place, from Baku or Baccou, a city on its banks, in the province of Shirvan. Oderic must have made a mistake here, as Casbin is not above seventy or eighty miles from Sultanie, and the journey of the caravans between these cities, could not have exceeded four or five days. Yezd, about 500 miles east from Ispahan.
