(52) Reverting to +Barugaza+ our author next enumerates the less important emporia having merely a local trade which intervenes between it and +Dimurikê+. Those are first +Akabarou+, +Souppara+, and +Kalliena+—followed by +Semulla+, +Mandagora+, +Palaipatmai+, +Meligeizara+, +Buzantion+, +Toperon+, and +Turanosboas+,—beyond which occurs a succession of islands, some of which give shelter to pirates, and of which the last is called +Leukê+ or White Island. The actual distance from Barugaza to Naoura, the first port of Dimurikê, is 4,500 stadia. To take these emporia in detail. +Akabarou+ cannot be identified. The reading is probably corrupt. Between the mouths of the Namados and those of the Goaris, Ptolemy interposes Nousaripa, Poulipoula, Ariakê Sadinôn, and Soupara. +Nausaripa+ is +Nausari+, about 18 miles to the south of Surat, and +Soupara+ is +Sûpârâ+ near Vasâï. Benfey, who takes it to be the name of a region and not of a city, regards it as the +Ophir+ of the Bible—called in the Septuagint Σωφηρά. +Sôphir+, it may be added, is the Coptic name for India. +Kalliena+ is now +Kalyâna+ near Bombay [which must have been an important place at an early date. It is named in the Kaṇhêri Bauddha Cave Inscriptions]. It is mentioned by Kosmas (p. 337), who states that it produced copper and sesamum and other kinds of logs, and cloth for wearing apparel. The name +Sandanes+, that of the Prince who sent Greek ships which happened to put into its port under guard to Barugaza, is thought by Benfey to be a territorial title which indicated that he ruled over +Ariakê+ of the Sandineis. [But the older “Saraganes” probably indicates one of the great Śâtakarṇi or Ândhrabhṛitya dynasty.] Ptolemy does not mention Kalliena, though he supplies the name of a place omitted in the _Periplûs_, namely +Dounga+ (VII. i. 6) near the mouth of the river +Bênda+. 53. After +Kalliena+ other local marts occur—+Semulla+, +Mandagora+, +Palaipatmai+, +Melizeigara+, +Buzantion+, +Toparon+, and +Turannosboas+. You come next to the islands called +Sêsekreienai+ and the island of the +Aigidioi+ and that of the +Kaineitai+, near what is called the +Khersonêsos+, places in which are pirates, and after this the island +Leukê+ (or ‘the White’). Then follow +Naoura+ and +Tundis+, the first marts of +Limurikê+, and after these +Mouziris+ and +Nelkunda+, the seats of Government.
