OMANA
OMANA (
Ὄμανα, Peripl. Mar. Erythr. 100.27, 36; Marcian,
Peripl. 100.28, ed. Müller, 1855), a port of some importance on the coast of Carmania, which is noticed also by Pliny (
6.28. s. 32). Its position was near the modern bay of
Tshubar, perhaps where Mannert has suggested, at Cape
Tanka (5.2. p. 421). Vincent places it a little to the E. of Cape
Iask. In Ptolemy, the name has been corrupted into Commana (vi.. 8.7).
