In this courfe they continued fome days before 
they reached Cattigara. Ptolemy juftly finds fault 
with the uncertainty of the exprefiion^w^days, and is 
at a lofs how many days to allow for fome ; but, as 
he had no better information, and as they arrived at 
Cattigara by obferving this fouth eaft courfe, it muft 
have flood fomewhere to the north weft of the 
mouth of the river Cambodia. 
Marcianus Heracleota alfo exprefsly mentions that 
they which failed to Cattigara held the fame courfe. 
His words are, “ failing therefore out of the great 
“ bay, and the promontory Notium, as if to the 
“ fouth, and keeping the country of Sin® to the left 
ct ar) d fa the eaft; you meet with a bay pertaining 
“ to wild beafts, which reaches to the promontory 
tc °f Satyrs; that after this promontory follows the 
“ greateft bay called the bay of Sin®, which extends 
“ to the Terra Auftralis et Orientalis incognita, into 
* { which bay runs the river Cotiarin, and upon which

For thefe reafons it is extremely probable that 
Cattigara flood fomewhere upon the north eaft
