ラシードゥッディーン
A town on the Romanian side of the Chilia branch of the Danube, now known as "Chilia Veche" (, translit. "Stara Kiliia") or "Old Chilia", was founded by the Greek Byzantines – κελλία, "kellia" in Greek being the equivalent of "granaries", a name first recorded in 1241, in the works of the Persian chronicler Rashid-al-Din Hamadani. Kiliia is therefore sometimes referred to as "Nova Kiliia" meaning "New Kiliia".
