⁵ Rúmála is mentioned at pages 14, 87, 92 and 93 volume I. of Elliot. It is first mentioned (page 14) by Ibn Khurdádbah (A.D. 912) as one of the countries of Sindh. It is next mentioned by Al Idrisi (end of the eleventh century according to Elliot, I. 74) as one of the places of the eighth section describing the coast of India, but is mentioned along with Nahrwára, Kandhár, and Kalbata (?). At page 92 (Ditto) the same writer (Idrisi) says that Kalbata and Rúmála are on the borders of the desert which separates Múltan from Sijistán. Again at page 93 (Ditto) Idrisi gives the distance between Kalbata and Rúmála as a distance of three days.
