⁴ V. Kanakasabhai, 'The Conquest of Bengal and Burma by the Tamils' (*Madras Review*, 1902, p. 251). Kidāram or Kadāram is supposed to be Tharekhettra, 8 miles west of Prome (*Ind. Ant.*, xxii, 6, 160). Takkolam=Takōla of Ptolemy (Bk. vii, ch. 2, 5; *Ind. Ant.*, xiii, 372), and is now called Ayethema (ibid., xxi, 383), some miles from the present coast. On Takkolam and Kadāram (or Kāla-gam), see Taw Sein Ko in *Burma A. S. Prog. Rep.*, 1909-10, pp. 14-16 and 1916-17, para. 57. It is Taikkula to SE. of Pegu. It is suggested that Pegu was under foreign Indian domination for 500 years. Kadāram seems to mean Pegu. Yet the position of Ptolemy’s Takōla really is uncertain.
