THe Kingdom of Adea begins in the middle of Adel, on the Main Land, * 1.1 bordering in the South, at Madagaxo; in the West, at Oyja, belonging to Abyssinie, in the North, at Adel; and Eastward border'd with the Indian-Sea.
The most famous Place of this Realm hath the Name Barraboa, that is, The good Shore; though it be somewhat distant from the Sea, and in passing to it you go up against the Stream in a Skiff by an Arm of the River Oby, or Quilmanzi.
The Dominion of Granze comes next, having for Limits the Kingdom of Oyja, Xoa, and Gorage, then Barra Maa, which is, Bad Shore, because no Ships can come near it. At last, upon the Skirts of this Realm, you find a Place call'd Ogabra. * 1.2
This Countrey hath many great Woods, insomuch that the Inhabitants are forced to cut down the Trees to make the Ways.
Nature hath served them with a plentiful hand, so that they want no Pro∣vision, having extraordinary Herds of Cattel.
They have a peculiar Mahumetan Prince, * 1.3 but dependent upon the Abyssine Emperor, to whom he pays Tribute.
The Inhabitants in general are zealous of Mahomet's Superstition, * 1.4 but those of Granze are partly Idolaters, and partly Christians.
