Original Name: 
Chinese Name: 
西洋
Notes: 

Literally "Western Ocean" or "Western Ocean Suo-li". "Western Ocean" was a generic name for the seas of Southeast Asia extending from the west of Borneo to the Indian Ocean. It was also used as the name, with or without the "Suo-li" addition, of a polity on the South Asian subcontinent. "Suo-li" likely represents "Cola". For some further literature, see Mills (1970; 195) and Wang Gungwu (1968 and 1970).

For information on further Chinese sources relating to this polity, see Chen, Xie and Lu (1986; 338-39, 691-92).
