The Parāmakambojas would seem to have been where the geographer Ptolemy (1st century A.D.) put the "Tambyzoi" (identified by Lévi as "Kamboja") - a place to the south of the Oxus. Just as the Yonas of Aśoka's empire neighboured the Kambojas in it, may we not surmise that Amtiyoka's subjects whom we have dubbed the Parāmayonas neighboured the Parāmakambojas? If we may ...
