Sumudra, Lamuri, Perlak and some other less known kingdoms are also referred to by Rasid-ad-Din (1310 A.D.), but he does not give any detailed account beyond stating that Lamuri was a large state under an independent king.¹ Other Arab writers also refer to some towns or states, in Sumatra, but do not in any way indicate that they possessed either political or commercial importance.
