Note 258 — Chapter XIII
Reading edition
Ktesias explains this word as "devourer of men," but by means of Sanskṛit it can only be explained by substituting to the initial m one of the words that signify man, such as nara, ǵana, manava, mânusha, &c. Antikora would seem to be derived from the Sanskṛit antakara = destroyer, who puts an end to, killer.
