Θοάνα is said to be Sogdian drw’n;⁶ but unless some Sogdian document actually makes drw’n a town of the Tochari, Ptolemy’s sixth book is prima facie conclusive against any connection.⁷ - [Previous: c33.37](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c33.37) - [Next: c33.39](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c33.39) - [Up: c33](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c33) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c33.38](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c33.38) · Pramāṇa
