MALANGA
MALANGA (
Μάλαγγα,
Ptol. 7.1.92), the chief town of the Arvarni, a tribe who inhabited the eastern side of
Hindostán, below where the Tyndis (now
Kistna) flows into the sea.
It has been supposed that it is the same place as the present
Madras, but it may have been a little higher up near
Nellore. [
