Funan
George Cœdès believes the name of the capital is Vyadhapura (city of hunters) because Angkorian texts described about it. The Book of Tang also recorded the word Témú (old Khmer Dalmāk) which also means hunter. But Michael Vickery disputes this claim because of two reasons. First, the two words have different meaning. The Vyadhapura killed the animal, but the Dalmāk brought the animal home alive. Second, the word Dalmāk appeared for the first time in the ninth or early tenth century, and the word Témú appeared in Chinese texts for the first time in the sixth century (Funan: 1st—7th century).
