Travels Of Marco Polo: Sixty Seven

Continuing to journey on its banks for twelve days more we discover a number of cities and castles.  The people are idolators, subject to the great Khan, and use paper money. Some are good at arms, others are merchants and artificers.  At the end of twelve days, the traveller comes to Sinfindu.[1]  He then rides seventy days through provinces and lands which we formerly went over, and have already described.  At the end of the period he comes to Gingui where we formerly were.
