Nathaniel, i would personal take this information with a large grain of salt. Firstly i know of no evidence that would place the origins of the keris a s we know it any where near as early as the 1st century. I also think that for the most part the general consensus of opinion is that the keris originated in Jawa and spread outward from there while this passage seems to imply it's origins with the Dong son people in the Gulf of Tangkeai. I have never seen any evidence that supports this theory.
