Note 979 — SAL-AMMONIAC.

William Johnston translation

I am fully of opinion that a town named in the new maps Kesem, and which lies in Arabia Felix, opposite to the island of Socotora, is here meant. It has a good harbour. See Büsching’s Geography, where the name Korasem also occurs.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
