Paris was an Indian province and gulf twelve leagues from Natá. Oviedo authorizes us to write, Pariza or Parita. The large square peninsula which forms the western bound to the gulf of Panamá, is sometimes called by modern writers Parita, and the gulf which cuts into the peninsula Gulfo de Parita. See Humboldt's Atlas of New Spain. Ribero gives G. de Paris, Vaz Dourado, G∴ de Paris naca and b∴ de Paris naqua; De Laet, Golfo de Parita, as well as the city Parita, south of which is Iubraua, and north, Escoria.
