Historical background

The name matches Zeila, an old port on the Gulf of Aden in today's Somaliland that is often equated with the harbour of Avalites in the "Periplus of the Erythraean Sea" (1st century AD). In the Middle Ages it was an important hub of the trade with Arabia. Whether the map, which places it in the steppes north of the Caucasus, really means this town is unclear.
