The Travels of Marco Polo — Volume 2

Note 1 — Chapter XXXIV

Henry Yule translation

This Ukak of Ibn Batuta is not, as I too hastily supposed (vol. i. p. 8) the Ucaca of the Polos on the Volga, but a place of the same name on the Sea of Azof, which appears in some mediæval maps as Locac or Locaq (i.e. l’Ocac), and which Elie de Laprimaudaie in his Periplus of the Mediæval Caspian, locates at a place called Kaszik, a little east of Mariupol. (Et. sur le Comm. au Moyen Age, p. 230.) I owe this correction to a valued correspondent, Professor Bruun, of Odessa.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
