Es Cheylam reino junto a Japon, tienen su rey que los gobierna al qual tributan. Es tierra muy abundante de açufre y pelean y pescan con fisgas.

English Translation

Keelung is kingdom that neighbors on Japan. They have their own king who governs them and to whom they pay taxes. Their land abounds in sulphur and they fight and they fish with harpoons.
