Place Perimula (promontory) — by M.U. Erdosy — last modified Nov 14, 2023 03:27 PM
Twice in the Natural History (books 6 and 9), Pliny the Elder describes Perimula (presumably cribbing Megasthenes) as a "promontory of India". Erdosy, in BAtlas, follows McCrindle 1926, who identifies it as the "projecting point of the island of Perimula or Perimuda, now called the island of Salsette" (i.e., the island now occupied by the modern city of Mumbai). Ptolemy and Aelian also record a "Perimoula", which various commentators have tried to place -- identified also with the feature in Pliny -- in the Gulf of Thailand, on the Malay peninsula, or on Sumatra.
