MODURA
MODU´RA(Μόδουρα, Ptol. 7.1.89.) There are two places of this name mentioned in the accounts of ancient India: one described by Ptolemy (l. c.) as βασίλειον Πανδίονος, the Palace of King Pandion; and the other as Μόδουρα ἡ τῶν Θεῶν, the Sacred Modoura (7.1.50). The former of these towns was in the southern part of Hindostân, and is most probably the present ruined city, Madura;the second was in the land of the Caspeiraei in the NW. part of India, either on the frontier or in the Panjáb. Its exact position cannot now be determined.
