Sailing from Zaitum, 1500 miles to the south westwards, we pass a gulf called Cheinan , which extends two months sail to the northward, still confining on the south-east of Mangi, and elsewhere, with Ania and Toloman, and other provinces mentioned formerly. Within it are infinite islands all in a manner inhabited , and in them is found abundance of gold, and they trade with each other.
Cancigu was the most southerly point visited by Marco Polo, during this journey. Leaving this city, he went towards the north-east, and by the country of Amu, Anam, and Tonkin, he reached Toloman, now called Tai-ping, after fifteen days' march.
There he found that fine race of men, of dark colour, who have crowned their mountains with strong castles, and whose ordinary food is the flesh of animals, milk, rice, and spices. On leaving Toloman, he followed the course of a river for twelve days, and found numerous towns on its banks.
