Mention by Pliny

Pliny[6] mentions Ethiopia....On leaving Syene1, and taking first the Arabian side, we find the nation of the Catadupi, then the Syenitæ, and the town of Tacompsos2, by some called Thatice, as also Aramasos, Sesamos, Sanduma, Masindomacam, Arabeta and Boggia, Leupitorga, Tantarene, Mecindita, Noa, Gloploa, Gystate, Megada, Lea, Renni, Nups, Direa, Patiga, Bacata, Dumana, Rhadata, at which place a golden cat was worshipped as a god, Boron, in the interior, and Mallos, near Meroë; this is the account given by Bion.

1 As to Syene and the Catadupi, see B. v. c. 10.

2 This place was also called in later times Contrapselcis. It was situate in the Dodecaschœnus, the part of Æthiopia immediately above Egypt, on an island near the eastern bank of the river, a little above Pselcis, which stood on the opposite bank. It has been suggested that this may have been the modern island of Derar. The other places do not appear to have been identified, and, in fact, in no two of the MSS. do the names appear to agree.

History

We find mention of a village Garhbor (गढ़बोर) in Kumbhalgarh tahsil in Rajsamand district of Rajasthan. This fort was built by Boran Jats. The village name Garhbor is due to the fort made by Boran Jats. Fort is called Garh in Hindi.

Garhbor Inscription of 1444 AD

कांकड़ोली (Rajsamand) से अनुमानतः 10 मील पश्चिम के गड़वोर (tah:Kumbhalgarh) गाँव में चारभुजा का प्रसिद्ध विष्णु-मंदिर है। मेवाड़ तथा मारवाड़ आदि के बहुत से लोग यात्रार्थ यहाँ आते हैं और भाद्रपद सुदि 11 को यहाँ बड़ा मेला होता है। चारभुजा का मंदिर किसने बनवाया यह ज्ञात नहीं हुआ, परन्तु प्राचीन देवालय का जीर्णोद्धार कराकर वर्तमान मंदिर वि. सं. 1501 (ई. सं. 1444) में खरवड़ जाति के रा. (रावत या राव) महीपाल, उसके पुत्र लखमण (लक्ष्मण), उस लखमण (लक्ष्मण) की स्री क्षीमिणी तथा उसके पुत्र झांझा, इन चारों ने मिलकर बनवाया, ऐसा वहाँ के शिलालेख से पाया जाता है। उक्त लेख में इस गाँव का नाम बदरी लिखा है और लोग चारभुजा को बदरीनाथ का रुप मानते हैं।[7]
