The most isolated inhabited island on this side of the archipelago, a hundred miles off the Bengkulu coast.
Nothing in any medieval source names it. It is on the campaign board because a ship blown off the Sunda strait approach ends up here, and because the campaign board should show where the known world stops. Its people have a language of their own; everything else about them is later ethnography.

Where the sources disagree
Evidence: Thin: later ethnography, the campaign board and geography; nothing dated near 1 January 1200 describes the people.
"The campaign board" is OMNIA's working map. These notes record where its earlier claims were checked against the sources.
On the map: A circle of 17 kilometres on the island's position; the island's outline is not traced.
Sources and studies
- Island histories and archaeology of Nias, Simeulue, the Mentawai islands and Enggano, as the OMNIA board states them; no medieval text names them, and we found none to cite
