Cochin China
Cochin China was the southermost part of Vietnam beside Kampuchea. Originally called Jiaozhi (交阯 or 交趾) by its Chinese rulers, Cochin was named after the unknown realm south of the Five Mountain Ranges (五嶺) in the legendary time of Sanhuangwudi. Its name may be phonetic, but the characters also have the meaning of "crossed bases of hills" and "crossed toes." Locally, it is called Nam Bo (南圻), meaning "Southern Boundary."In 111 BC, under the reign of Wudi of Han China[?], the Jiaozhi Prefecture (交趾郡) was established, among two other prefectures in other parts of Vietnam: Jiuzhen (九真郡) and Ri'nan (日南郡). In 939, Ngo Quyen (吳權) self-proclaimed to be the King of the Cochin Kingdom and started the Ngo Dynasty.
During the French Occupation, it was called Cochinchine in French, and capital was at Saigon. The two other parts of Vietnam at the time were Annam and Tonkin.
Cochin, without "China," is also the name of Travancore, a former state of India now largely replaced by the State of Kerala.

cum.html">cum.html">cum.html">cum placidum ventis staret mare; non ego Daphnim
O tantum libeat mecum tibi sordida rura
haedorumque gregem viridi compellere hibisco!
Pan primus calamos cera coniungere pluris
Nec te paeniteat calamo trivisse labellum:
est mihi disparibus septem compacta cicutis
et dixit moriens: `Te nunc habet ista secundum.'
Praeterea duo, nec tuta mihi valle reperti,
bina die siccant ovis ubera; quos tibi servo:
et faciet, quoniam sordent tibi munera nostra.
ecce ferunt Nymphae calathis; tibi candida Nais,
narcissum et florem iungit bene olentis anethi;
mollia luteola pingit vaccinia calta.
castaneasque nuces, mea quas Amaryllis amabat;
et vos, O lauri, carpam, et te, proxima myrte,
Rusticus es, Corydon: nec munera curat Alexis,
Heu, heu, quid volui misero mihi! Floribus austrum
Quem fugis, ah, demens? Habitarunt di quoque silvas,
ipsa colat; nobis placeant ante omnia silvae.
florentem cytisum sequitur lasciva capella;
Aspice, aratra iugo referunt suspensa iuvenci,
me tamen urit amor; quis enim modus adsit amori?
Semiputata tibi frondosa vitis in ulmo est;
viminibus mollique paras detexere iunco?
D. Non, verum Aegonis; nuper mihi tradidit Aegon.
dum fovet, ac ne me sibi praeferat illa veretur,
et sucus pecori et lac subducitur agnis.
novimus et qui te, transversa tuentibus hircis,
M. Tum, credo, cum me arbustum videre Miconis
D. Aut hic ad veteres fagos cum Daphnidis arcum
et cum vidisti puero donata, dolebas,
