SATYRO´RUM
SATYRO´RUM,
I´NSULAE (
Σατύρων νῆσοι,
Ptol. 7.2.30), a group of three Indian islands, lying E. of the Chersonesus Aurea, in the same degree of latitude as its southern point. They were said to be inhabited by a race of men having tails like Satyrs; that is, probably, by apes resembling men. Perhaps the
Anamba islands.
