 The annual news of Songshu and Liangshu referred to Java as She-po (5th century CE), He-ling (640–818), then called it She-po again until the Yuan dynasty (1271–1368), where they began mentioning Zhao-Wa.According to Ma Huan's book (the Yingya Shenlan), the Chinese called Java Chao-Wa, and the island was called "She-pó" ("She-bó") in the past.When John of Marignolli returned from China to Avignon, he stayed at the Kingdom of Saba for a few months, which he said had many elephants and was led by a queen; Saba may be his interpretation of She-bó.
