Abiria[a] was the country of the Abhiras in ancient India.[1][2][3] It is mentioned in the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea and by Ptolemy in his Geographia.[4] The Periplus mentions it as Aberia with the coastal district Syrastrene (modern-day Saurashtra, Gujarat), and Ptolemy locates it above the Indus delta.[5]
