Ptolemy’s Geography, composed in the second century A.D., refers to many geographical names of Indian origin from Burma to Java. The Buddhist canonical text *Niddesa*, probably composed about the same time, if not earlier, similarly contains a long list of place-names of Sanskrit origin which can be located in the same region.
