MELIZIGARA
MELIZIGARA (
Μελιζειγάρα, Arrian,
Peripl. p. 30), a commercial entrepôt on the southern coast of
Hindostán, apparently nearly opposite to
Ceylon. It is no doubt the same place which Ptolemy records as an island under the name of Melizegyris or Milizigeris. (
Μελιζήγυρις, Μιλιζιγηρίς, 7.1.95.)
