TALMEN(Ταλμήν, Arrian, Indic. 100.29), a port of Gedrosia at which the fleet of Nearchus found a secure harbour. It is not clear what place now may be identified with it, and different geographers have held different opinions. Vincent ( Voyage of Nearchus, 1. p. 271) thinks it is the bay formed by the mouth of a small river called by Ptolemy Candriaces or Hydriaces (6.8.8). It was probably close to the modern town, Choubar Tizand Purug. (Cf. Gosselin, 3. p. 148.)
