No further information about the Gān Jūn Kingdom has been found, and its identification is uncertain. Some cite that it is probably the mistaken name of Gān Bì (甘畢，甘必) in the New Book of Tang volume 222 says it is on South China Sea. It bordered east to the Huán Wáng Kingdom (環王國; Champa). Its king is named Zhān Tuó Yuè Mó (旃陀越摩, Chandavema), who also has 5,000 elite soldiers.[2] Some say it was located on the island of Sumatra in present-day Indonesia.[2]
