NAGEIRI(Νάγειροιor Νανίγειροι, Ptol. 7.4.9), one of the two most southern tribes of Taprobane ( Ceylon). They appear to have lived in the immediate neighbourhood of what Ptolemy calls, and what are still, the Elephant Pastures,and to have had a town called the city of Dionysus (Διονύσου πόλιςor ἄκρον), which is probably represented now by the ruins of Kattregam(Davy, Account of Ceylon, p. 420; Ritter, Erdkunde, 6. p. 22); if these are not, as some have supposed, the remains of Mordulamne.
