Fonjistan Explanation: There is a reference to 'Fonjistan' on page 44 of the following source: http://www.sssuk.org/SS/SS20.pdf "In short, once Fonjistan is entered the correspondence between Book 10 and map becomes very sketchy." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2011-11-10 10:11:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- There are also references to the 'Fung Kingdom' and 'Sennar' in the same text, e.g.: "Hafir, Kor Hussein's headquarters in 1671, appears prominently; but to the south of the latter's boundary with Fonjistan (Sennar) place names are scarce." Sennar is the name of a state in modern Sudan: http://enwikipedia.org/wiki/Sennar_(state) So Nerino's proposed answer also appears to be vindicated. |
