SORA
SORA (
Σῶρα,
Ptol. 7.1.68), a town in the southern part of India, between M. Bettigo and Adeisathron.
It was the capital of a nomad race
[p. 2.1023]called Sorae (Ptol.
l.c.), and the royal residence of a king named Arcates.
The people are evidently the same as the Surae of Pliny (
6.20. s. 23). Lassen places them in the mountains above
Madras (see map).
