Page "Birka" Paragraph 46

:" From Skåne ( Sconia ) of the Danes one reaches Sigtuna ( Sictonam ) or Birka after five days at sea, for they are indeed alike.

But by land from Skåne across the Geatish people ( Gothorum populos ) and cities Skara ( Scaranem ), Telgas and Birka, one reaches Sigtuna only after a full month.

" ( IV 28 )
