10. After +Moundou+, if you sail eastward as before for two or three days, there comes next +Mosullon+, where it is difficult to anchor. It imports the same sorts of commodities as have been already mentioned, and also utensils of silver and others of iron but not so many, and glass-ware. It exports a vast amount of cinnamon (whence it is a port requiring ships of heavy burden) and other fragrant and aromatic products, besides tortoise-shell, but in no great quantity, and the incense called _mokrotou_ inferior to that of Moundou, and frankincense brought from parts further distant, and ivory and myrrh though in small quantity. (10) At a distance beyond it of two or three days’ sail occurs +Mosulon+, which is the name both of a mart and of a promontory. It is mentioned by Pliny (VI. 34), who says: “Further on is the bay of +Abalitês+, the island of +Diodôrus+ and other islands which are desert. On the mainland, which has also deserts, occur a town +Gaza+ [Bandar Gazim, long. 49° 13´ E.], the promontory and port of +Mosylon+, whence cinnamon is exported. Sesostris led his army to this point and no further. Some writers place one town of Ethiopia beyond it, Baricaza, which lies on the coast. According to Juba the Atlantic Sea begins at the promontory of Mossylon.” Juba evidently confounded this promontory with Cape Arômata, and Ptolemy, perhaps in consequence, makes its projection more considerable than it is. D’Anville and Gosselin thought +Mossulon+ was situated near the promontory Mete, where is a river, called the Soal, which they supposed preserved traces of the name of Mossulon. This position however cannot be reconciled with the distances given in the _Periplûs_, which would lead us to look for it where Guesele is placed in the latest description given of this coast. Vincent on very inadequate grounds would identify it with Barbara or Berbera. [Müller places it at Bandar Barthe and Ras Antarah, long. 49° 35´ E.] 11. After leaving +Mosullon+, and sailing past a place called +Neiloptolemaios+, and past +Tapatêgê+ and the Little Laurel-grove, you are conducted in two days to Capo +Elephant+. Here is a stream called +Elephant+ River, and the Great Laurel-grove called +Akannai+, where, and where only, is produced the _peratic_ frankincense. The supply is most abundant, and it is of the very finest quality.
