Gerini² was the first to point out that "there was, and still exists, Khanthuli or Kanturi district on the east coast of Malay Peninsula which may very well be old Kan-to-li of First Sung and Liang periods." But the chief objections against this view were the generally accepted identification of San-fo-tsi with Palembang, and the fact that Kan-to-li is mentioned as a separate state in 820 A. D., whereas Palembang was called by the Chinese as Che-li-fo-che for at least 150 years before that.
