Question on Koine Greek

[keravnos]

Roman historian Justin names a "Demetrius, king of the Indians", [2] who was an enemy of Eucratides the Great. Justin's Demetrius beleaguered the warlike Eucratides with an army of 60,000 men against the latter's garrison of 300,

We have to remember that in the past the name of the people who were being King subjects were used rather than the land. Therefore, King of the Indians or "Basileus ton Indon" would do.

For Meroe, I would go for "Basileus ton Noubion" or "Basileus ton Aithiopon" as both were known to the Greeks of that time.

Thanks for the name help, keravnos.
You're the one that did the greek voicemod right? Tis my favorite voicemod and has inspired me to try and learn some koine greek, though it's hard to find a dictionary for that language where I live, do you know of any online Koine greek dictionaries?

So a hellene with 300 men goes up against hundreds of thousands of easterners and manages to embarrass them...I'm seeing some definite shades of the Thermopylae legend. -M
