Melizigara
Μελιζειγάρα
Melizigara (Μελιζειγάρα, Arrian, Peripl. p. 30), a commercial entrepôt on the southern coast of Hindostán, apparently nearly opposite to Ceylon. It is no doubt the same place which Ptolemy records as an island under the name of Melizegyris or Milizigeris. (Μελιζήγυρις, Μιλιζιγηρίς, 7.1.95.)
