a district of Hindustan, in the province of Gujerat, situated on the south-east bank of the Puddur river. It literally signifies the residence of thieves, which character attaches to the inhabitants, who live by plundering their neighbours. Every man who in this turbulent region can muster twenty horsemen, considers himself as an independent chief, and sets out on a marauding expedition.

MEIBOMIUS is the name of several learned men, by Meibomian birth Germans, who in their day enjoyed considerable reputation.
