ME´THORA
ME´THORA (
Μέθορα, Arrian,
Indic. 8), a small state in the centre of India, which was subject to the great tribe of the Prasii.
It was situated near, if not upon, the Jomanes or
Jumna (
Plin. Nat. 6.19. s. 22), and has, with much probability, been assumed to be on the site of the present
Allahabád. [
