Qays is the Arabic name for the island of Kish, located in the lower Persian Gulf. For much of the 7/13th century it was under the control of the Sultans of Hormuz, but for a short period under the Ilkhanids it became the centre of a commercial empire, benefiting from its strategic position which gave it control over commercial maritime traffic between India, Yemen, Iran and Iraq. At this time Qays is reported to have been exceptionally prosperous, enjoying annual revenues of between 400,000 and 700,000 dinars annually,
