For the nonce let us confine ourselves to summary notices concerning the kings of

Sind and Hind. The language of Sind is different from that of Hind. . . ."
c.1020 AD Hind Al-Birūnī "Hind is surrounded on the East by Chín and Máchín,
on the West by Sind and Kábul, and on the South by the Sea."-
1205 AD Hind Hasan Nizāmī "The whole country of Hind, from Peshawar in
the north, to the Indian Ocean in the south; from Sehwan (on the west bank of the
Indus) to the mountains on the east dividing from China."
1298 AD India the Greater
India the Minor
Middle India Marco Polo "India the Greater is that which extends from Maabar
to Kesmacoran (i.e. from Coromandel to Mekran), and it contains 13 great
kingdoms. . . . India the Lesser extends from the Province of Champa to Mutfili
(i.e. from Cochin-China to the Kistna Delta), and contains 8 great Kingdoms. . . .
Abash (Abyssinia) is a very great province, and you must know that it constitutes
the Middle India."
c. 1328 AD India Friar Jordanus "What shall I say? The great- ness of this
India is beyond description. But let this much suffice concerning India the Greater
and the Less. Of India Tertia I will say this, that I have not indeed seen its many
marvels, not having been there. . . ."
1404 AD India Minor Clavijo "And this same Thursday that the said
Ambassadors arrived at this great River (the Oxus) they crossed to the other side.
And the same day . . . came in the evening to a great city which is called Tenmit
(Termez), and this used to belong to India Minor, but now belongs to the empire of
Samarkand, having been conquered by Tamurbec."
