Zarmanochegas

"[6] A tomb was made to the sramana, still visible in the time of Plutarch (d. AD 125), which bore the epitaph "ΖΑΡΜΑΝΟΧΗΓΑΣ ΙΝΔΟΣ ΑΠΟ ΒΑΡΓΟΣΗΣ" ("Zarmanochegas, Indian from Bargosa").

"[8]Strabo's (d. AD 24) account at Geographia xv, i, 4 is as follows: From one place in India, and from one king, namely, Pandian, or, according to others, Porus, presents and embassies were sent to Augustus Caesar.

With the ambassadors came the Indian Gymnosophist, who committed himself to the flames at Athens, like Calanus, who exhibited the same spectacle in the presence of Alexander.Strabo adds (at xv, i, 73): To these accounts may be added that of Nicolaus Damascenus.

The letter was written in Greek upon a skin; the import of it was, that Porus was the writer, that although he was sovereign of six hundred kings, yet that he highly esteemed the friendship of Caesar; that he was willing to allow him a passage through his country, in whatever part he pleased, and to assist him in any undertaking that was just.

For as everything hitherto had succeeded with him, he thought it necessary to depart, lest some unexpected calamity should happen to him by continuing to live; with a smile, therefore, naked, anointed, and with the girdle round his waist, he leaped upon the pyre.

The Eleusinian Mysteries (Ἐλευσίνια Μυστήρια) were initiation ceremonies of pre-historic antiquity focused on immortality and held in honour of Demeter and Persephone based at Eleusis in ancient Greece.

[12][4] HL Jones (2006) interprets the inscription as mentioned by Strabo and sees two words at the beginning, instead of one name: The Sramana master, an Indian, a native of Bargosa, having immortalized himself according to the custom of his country, lies here.
