In those times, moreover, there were imported, _as presents_ to the king, costly silver vases, instruments of music, handsome young women for concubinage, superior wine, apparel, plain but costly, and the choicest unguents. The exports from this part of the country are— Νὺρδος, κόστος, βδέλλα, ἐλέφας—Spikenard, costus, bdellium, ivory. Ὀνυχίνη λιθία καὶ μουρρίνη—Onyx-stones and porcelain. Λύκιον—_Ruzot_, Box-thorn.

The proper season to set sail for Barugaza from Egypt is the month of July, or Epiphi. 50. From +Barugaza+ the coast immediately adjoining stretches from the north directly to the south, and the country is therefore called +Dakhinabadês+, because Dakhan in the language of the natives signifies _south_. Of this country that part which lies inland towards the east comprises a great space of desert country, and large mountains abounding with all kinds of wild animals, leopards, tigers, elephants, huge snakes, hyenas, and baboons of many different sorts, and is inhabited right across to the Ganges by many and extremely populous nations. (50) +Barugaza+ had at the same time commercial relations with the Dekhan also. This part of India our author calls +Dakhinabadês+, transliterating the word +Dakshinâpatha+—(the Dakshinâ, or the South Country). “Here,” says Vincent, “the author of the _Periplûs_ gives the true direction of this western coast of the Peninsula, and states in direct terms its tendency to the South, while Ptolemy stretches out the whole angle to a straight line, and places the Gulf of Cambay almost in the same latitude as Cape Comorin.” 51. Among the marts in this South Country there are two of more particular importance—+Paithana+, which lies south from Barugaza, a distance of twenty days, and +Tagara+, ten days east of Paithana, the greatest city in the country. Their commodities are carried down on wagons to Barugaza along roads of extreme difficulty,—that is, from +Paithana+ a great quantity of onyx-stone, and from +Tagara+ ordinary cottons in abundance, many sorts of muslins, mallow-coloured cottons, and other articles of local production brought into it from the parts along the coast. The length of the entire voyage as far as +Limurikê+ is 700 stadia, and to reach +Aigialos+ you must sail very many stadia further.
