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.

Sicyon/Demetrias was an important ancient city of the Corinthiad, located some 26 km to the west of Corinth. The city had a long history, beginning in the Archaic period when Orthagorid tyrants ruled it. It flourished in later Archaic and Classical times, was a member of the Peloponnesian League, and became a center of Theban power after 371 B.C. The city was long noted for its association with fine arts and during the fourth century B.C. produced the famous sculptor Lysippos. Under Aratos, Sicyon joined the Achaean League in 251 B.C. By the time Pausanias visited the site, declining political fortunes and disastrous earthquakes had reduced it to a ruinous state.

The site of Thalamai was evidently in an area known in modern times as Svina, in the eastern portion of modern Thalames/Koutiphari on the west side of the Mani peninsula at the base of the Taygetos mountains. Evidence for human habitation here stretches back to the Neolithic. In ancient times, this Laconian/Messenian settlement was home to Spartan perioikoi and, according to Pausanias, was the site of an oracle of Ino/Pasiphae.
