The _Sing_ of Rashid is evidently the Shieng or Sheng (_Scieng_) of Polo.
M. Pauthier is on this point somewhat contemptuous towards Neumann, who,
he says, confounds Marco Polo”s twelve Barons or Ministers of State with
the chiefs of the twelve great provincial governments called _Sing_, who
had their residence at the chief cities of those governments; whilst in
fact Polo”s _Scieng_ (he asserts) has nothing to do with the _Sing_, but
represents the Chinese word _Siang_ ‘a minister,’ and ‘the office of a
minister.’ [There was no doubt a confusion between _Siang_ [Chinese] and
_Sheng_ [Chinese].–H. C.]
