Chittagong (Chatigrama): the Karnaphuli port

The sea port at the Karnaphuli mouth, on the Harikela coast, known to Arab seamen; the campaign board marks it "contested" between Pattikera, the Sena claim and the Arakan side.

No source we opened names its lord in 1200. The hill frontier to the east is raiding and trade ground; Ramu and the Buddhist coast to the south belong to the same country.
