Jin-mao-li

Original Name: 
Komoring?
Chinese Name: 
金貓里
Notes: 

Noted in the MSL as a polity whose envoy came to the Ming court together with the Javanese envoy in 1405 (Tai-zong shi-lu, juan 46.3b). No firm identification has been established for this polity. In Cantonese, the characters of the polity name are pronounced "Gum-mao-lei". This suggests that it might refer to Komoring in southern Sumatra.

For information on further Chinese sources relating to this polity, see Chen, Xie and Lu (1986; 526).
