² [Ghodbandar (Gorabundur), supposed by some to be the Hippokoura of Ptolemy, is a port on the left bank of the Bassein creek, ten miles north-west of Thāna. Fryer (1675) refers to it as Grebondel. It is a favourite place of excursion from Bombay, and contains the remains of several Portuguese buildings. (I.G. Bom., 1909, i. 377.) Crooke remarks that the Hippokoura of Ptolemy was more probably Ghoregāon in Kolāba (M’Crindle, Ptolemy, 44). Fryer’s Travels, ed. Crooke (Hakluyt), 1909, i. 190 n.]
