(53) +Semulla+ (in Ptolemy +Timoula+ and +Simulla+) is identified by Yule with +Chênval+ or Chaul, a seaport 23 miles south of Bombay; [but Bhagvanlâl Indraji suggests Chimûla in Trombay island at the head of the Bombay harbour; and this is curiously supported by one of the Kanhêri inscriptions in which +Chemûla+ is mentioned, apparently as a large city, like Supârâ and Kalyâna, in the neighbourhood]. After Simulla Ptolemy mentions +Hippokoura+ [possibly, as suggested by the same, a partial translation of +Ghoḍabandar+ on the Choḍa nadi in the Ṭhaṅa strait] and +Baltipatna+ as places still in Ariakê, but +Mandagara Buzanteion+, +Khersonêsos+, +Armagara+, the mouths of the river +Nanagouna+, and an emporium called +Nitra+, as belonging to the Pirate Coast which extended to Dimurikê, of which +Tundis+, he says, is the first city. Ptolemy therefore agrees with our author in assigning the Pirate Coast to the tract of country between Bombay and Goa. This coast continued to be infested with pirates till so late a period as the year 1765, when they were finally exterminated by the British arms. +Mandagara+ and +Palaipatma+ may have corresponded pretty nearly in situation with the towns of Rájapur and Bankut. Yule places them respectively at Bankut and Debal. +Melizeigara+ (Milizêguris or Milizigêris of Ptolemy, VII. i. 95), Vincent identifies with Jaygaḍh or Sidê Jaygaḍh. The same place appears in Pliny as +Sigerus+ (VI. xxvi. 100). Buzantium may be referred to about Vijayadrug or Esvantgadh, +Toparon+ may be a corrupt reading for +Togaron+, and may perhaps therefore be Devagaḍh which lies a little beyond Vijayndrug. +Turannosboas+ is not mentioned elsewhere, but it may have been, us Yule suggests, the Bandâ or Tirakal river. Müller placed it at Acharê. The first island on this part of the coast is Sindhudrug near Mâlwan, to which succeeds a group called the Burnt Islands, among which the Vingorla rocks are conspicuous. These are no doubt the +Heptanêsia+ of Ptolemy (VII. i. 95), and probably the +Sêsikrienai+ of the _Periplûs_. The island Aigidion called that of the Aigidii may be placed at Goa, [but Yule suggests Angediva south of Sadaśivagaḍh, in lat. 14° 45´ N., which is better]. Kaineiton may be the island of St. George.
