%~Z REMARKS ON THE 



According to the above proportion, thefe ten days Cor 

 rather fomewhat lefs*) are equal to about 100 Britifh 

 utiles ; and confequently Tagara, by its bearing and 

 diftance from Pultanah, falls at Deoghir, a place of great 

 antiquity, and famous through all India, on account of 

 the Pagodas of Eloura. It is now called Doulet-abad, 

 and about four cofs N. W. of Aurungabad. 



Ptolemy agrees very well with Arrian, with refpeel to 

 diftances and bearings, if we admit that he has miftaken 

 Ba'vhana, or Paithana, for Plithana ; and this, I am 

 pretty fure, is really the cafe, and may be eafily accounted 

 for, as there is very little difference between IIAI0ANA 

 and IIAI0ANA in the Greek character. 



Paithana, now Pattan,~f or Puttan, is about half way 

 between Tagara and Plithana. 



According to Ptolemy, Tagara and Pattan were fitu- 

 ated to the northward of the Baund-Ganga, (Binda or 

 Bynda river,) commonly called Goddvery ; and here 

 Ptolemy is very right. 



In M. Bitjfys marches, Pattan is placed to the fouth- 

 ward of the Goddvery ; but it is a miftake. 



It appears from Arrian' 's Pcriplus, that, on the arrival 

 of the Greeks into the Deccan, above 2000 years ago, 

 Tagara was the metropolis of a large diftrict called 

 Ariaca, which comprehended the greateft part of Subah 

 Auruvgabad, and the fouthern part of Concan ; for the 

 northern part of that diftricl, including Damaun Callian, 

 the I (land of Sal/et, Bombay, Sec. belonged to the Rajah 



of
