Ariaca

ARIACA(Ἀριακὴ Σαδινῶν), a considerable district of India intra Gangem, along the W. coast of the peninsula, corresponding apparently to the N. part of the presidency of Bombay. Ptolemy mentions in it two rivers, Goaris (Γοάρις) and Benda (Βήνδα), and several cities, the chief of which seem to have been Hippocura (Ἱππόκουρα) in the S. ( Bangalore, or Hydrabad), and Baetana (Βαίτανα, prob. Beder) in the N., besides the poet of Simylla. (Ptol. 7.1. § § 6, 82; Peripl. p. 30.)

ARIACAor ARTIACA, a town of Gallia, which is represented by Arcis-sur-Aube, according to the Antonine Itin., which places it. between Troyesand Châlons. It is placed M. P. xviii., Leugas xii., from Tricasses ( Troyes); and M. P. xxxiii., Leugas xxii., from Durocatalauni ( Chdalons). In both cases the measurement by Roman miles and Leugae, or Gallic leagues, agrees,--for the ratio is 1 1/2 Roman miles to a Leuga. The actual measurements also agree with the Table.
