Mention by Pliny
Pliny[4] mentions Arabia....Ampelome57 also, a Milesian colony, the town of Athrida, the Calingii, whose city is called Mariva58, and signifies "the lord of all men;" the towns of Palon and Murannimal, near a river by which it is thought that the Euphrates discharges itself, the nations of the Agrei and the Ammonii, the town of Athenæ, the Caunaravi, a name which signifies "most rich in herds," the Coranitæ, the Œsani, and the Choani59. Here were also formerly the Greek towns of Arethusa, Larisa, and Chalcis, which have been destroyed in various wars.
57 Probably the same place as we find spoken of by Herodotus as Ampe, and at which Darius settled a colony of Miletians after the capture of Miletus, B. C. 494.
58 Hardouin remarks that Mariaba, the name found in former editions, has no such meaning in the modern Arabic.
59 Mentioned by Ovid in the Metamorphoses, B. v. 1. 165, et seq. Sillig, however, reads "Ciani."
History
Konar Sandal (Hindi:कोनार शंडल, Persian: كنارصندل) is a village in Hoseynabad Rural District, Esmaili District, Anbarabad County, Kerman Province, Iran. Konar Sandal is located 55 miles north of Yahya and is culturally similar. Both cities traded with Mesopotamia. According to archaeologist Massimo Vidale, Indus Valley Civilization weights, seals, and etched carnelian beads were found in the area, demonstrating the connections between these two cultures.[5]
