Arrian (quoting Megasthenes) lists the Agoranis among a large number of tributaries of the Ganges river. Some modern scholarship (e.g., Tomaschek in RE) has therefore identified it with the modern Gogra (Ghaghara); however, Erdosy in BAtlas silently rejects this view, preferring to identify it as a distributary of the Ganges, the modern Garai (Gorai) in Bangladesh.

An ancient sanctuary complex, incorporating a cave known today as Zindan Mağarası, which overlooks a bend in the river Aksu (locally Zindan Deresi; a tributary of the Eurymedon) in Turkey's Isparta province. Archaeological and epigraphic evidence demonstrate human activity from the Hellenistic to the Seljuk period, with the dedication of a temple to the Vigenon Mother of the Gods during the reign of Marcus Aurelius. A Roman-era bridge and road section has also been identified as part of the complex, which was probably associated with the nearby city of Timbriada. The sanctuary also honored the god Eurymedon. A Christian monastery succeeded the sanctuary, spoliating its buildings for construction material.

Ptolemy enumerates the ancient mouths (stomata) of the Ganges river, from west to east. He lists "Kamberichon Stoma" as the third of these.
