Where was this port situated? That is the important problem we are now going to solve. This port was existing at the time of Ptolemy, and is found mentioned by this geographer. In fact, this is how Ptolemy describes the east coast of the Deccan (see Ind. Ant., Vol. XIII., page 332) : "Mouth of the river Khabéros—Khabéris—Sabouras—Podoukê—Melangê—Mouth of the river Tyna—Kottis—Manarpha—Mouth of the river Maisôlus—Kontakossyla, a mart—Koddura—Allosyngê—The point of departure for ships bound for Khrysê—Paloura—Naingaina—Katikardama— Kannagara—Mouth of the river Madana''.
