Parisi appears as a fictional kingdom in several hikayats. In Hikayat Banta Ali (XXV): ‘Kachah Peureudan, son of the king of Tambon Parisi.’ In Hikayat Chut Gambang China (XXXVI): ‘Meureuhom Hiali, king of Parisi while on a hunting expedition lost his way and strayed into the country of the Jen Diu.’ The story is set largely in Parisi and involves the kingdoms of Kawa Mandari and Ua’iron Banun. In Hikayat Pha Suasa (XXXIV): ‘Banta Sulutan is the son, and Putroe Baren (Bahren) Miga the daughter of Raja Baren Nasi, king of Boreudat (Baghdad)’; the story also involves Parisi as a setting.
