ABSTRACT
GOING further forward, leaving the Kingdom of Peeguu, along the coast 1 towards Malaca, there is another great Kingdom which they call that of Anseam,2 belonging to the Heathen. The King thereof is also a Heathen and a very great Lord, he holdeth this coast as far as the other which beyond Malaca turneth towards China, so that he hath seaports on both sides: he is Lord of much folk, both footmen and horsemen, and of many elephants, nor doth he permit the Moors to bear arms in his land. Straightway after leaving the Kingdom of Pegu there is a great city, a sea-haven which they call Tanaçary.l
