The hill and creek country of the Mayu peninsula and the Naf, toward Chittagong.
No source we read describes it in 1200; the Rakhine kings' later claim to Chittagong is a story of the fifteenth century on. Chittagong itself (Chatigrama) is Sena ground (Northern India map). This record holds a coast that Arakan reaches and does not govern.
Who holds it
- Title
- Not known
- Since
- not known
- Born
- not known
- Family
- not known
- Confidence
- low
No source we read names a holder.
How things stand that morning
A thin claim on a fringe; nothing dated.
Places of note
- Maungdaw: Naf side town.
Where the sources disagree
- The campaign board entry has no Mayu place. The Arakan realm record counts the Mayu as held but thin; here it is a claim.
- Map ruling (sheet builder, pass 1): the Mayu and Naf strip is drawn in the Arakan colour with the claim hatching. The Arakan realm record counts it as held but thin and this record as a claim; no one else claims it (Chittagong, the Sena ground, is across the Naf).
Evidence: Geography only.
"The campaign board" is OMNIA's working map. These notes record where its earlier claims were checked against the sources.
On the map: A guess at the edge.
