The origin of the word seems also somewhat doubtful. The word Σενδἑς occurs in _Constant. Porphyrog. de Ceremoniis_ (Bonn, ed. I. 468), and this looks like a transfer of the Arabic _Săndăs_ or _Sundus_, which is applied by Bakui to the silk fabrics of Yezd. (_Not. et Ext._ II. 469.) Reiske thinks this is the origin of the Frank word, and connects its etymology with Sind. Others think that _sendal_ and the other forms are modifications of the ancient _Sindon_, and this is Mr. Marsh’s view. (See also _Fr.-Michel, Recherches, etc._ I. 212; _Dict. des Tissus_, II. 171 _seqq._) NOTE 2.—JÚJÚ is precisely the name given to this city by Rashiduddin, who notices the vineyards. Juju is CHO-CHAU, just at the distance specified from Peking, viz. 40 miles, and nearly 30 from Pulisanghin or Lu-kou K’iao. The name of the town is printed _Tsochow_ by Mr. Williamson, and _Chechow_ in a late Report of a journey by Consul Oxenham. He calls it “a large town of the second order, situated on the banks of a small river flowing towards the south-east, viz. the Kiu-ma-Ho, a navigable stream. It had the appearance of being a place of considerable trade, and the streets were crowded with people.” (_Reports of Journeys in China and Japan_, etc. Presented to Parliament, 1869, p. 9.) The place is called _Jújú_ also in the Persian itinerary given by ’Izzat Ullah in _J. R. A. S._ VII. 308; and in one procured by Mr. Shaw. (_Proc. R. G. S._ XVI. p. 253.) [The Rev. W. S. Ament (_Marco Polo_, 119–120) writes, “the historian of the city of Cho-chau sounds the praises of the people for their religious spirit. He says:—‘It was the custom of the ancients to worship those who were before them. Thus students worshipped their instructors, farmers worshipped the first husbandman, workers in silk, the original silk-worker. Thus when calamities come upon the land, the virtuous among the people make offerings to the spirits of earth and heaven, the mountains, rivers, streams, etc. All these things are profitable. These customs should never be forgotten.’ After such instruction, we are prepared to find fifty-eight temples of every variety in this little city of about 20,000 inhabitants. There is a temple to the spirits of Wind, Clouds, Thunder, and Rain, to the god of silk-workers, to the Horse-god, to the god of locusts, and the eight destructive insects, to the Five Dragons, to the King who quiets the waves. Besides these, there are all the orthodox temples to the ancient worthies, and some modern heroes. Liu Pei and Chang Fei, two of the three great heroes of the _San Kuo Chih_, being natives of Cho Chou, are each honoured with two temples, one in the native village, and one in the city. It is not often that one locality can give to a great empire two of its three most popular heroes: Liu Pei, Chang Fei, Kuan Yu.”
