The location of Kan-to-li, as suggested by Gerini, is supported by the fact that both the History of the Liang dynasty and Han Yü mention Kan-to-li along with Champā and Kāmboja. Ma-Twan-lin also enumerates in a course with Kan-to-li, P'an-p'an, Lan-ya-hsiu, and Po-li, the first two of which can be definitely located in Malay Peninsula. All these would suit the location of Kan-to-li in Malay Peninsula far better than in Sumatra, as Ferrand does, on the authority of Ibn Majid ( A.D. 1462 ) who mentions Kandari as a general name of Sumatra.
