The Chinese book Tao-i-che-lio, written by Wang Ta-yuen in 1349 A.D., refers to some of the states in northern Sumatra such as Pañcur, Tamiang, Batakland, Lambri, and Samudra, but says nothing of the political condition or of the spread of Islam. It also refers to San-fo-tsi and Kieu-kiang (Palembang) as two separate states under two kings³.
