The Travels of Marco Polo — Volume 2

Note 1 — Chapter XXIV

Henry Yule translation

The Town of Monte d’Ely appears (Monte Dil) in Coronelli’s Atlas (1690) from some older source. Mr. Burnell thinks Baliapatan (properly Vaḷarpaṭṭanam) which is still a prosperous Máppila town, on a broad and deep river, must be Hili. I see a little difficulty in this. [Marabia at Monte Dely is often mentioned in Correa, as one of the ports of the Kingdom of Cananor.]

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
