city
Δαρσανία, πόλις Ἰνδική, ἐν ᾗ αὐθημερὸν ἱμάτιον ἱστουργοῦσι γυναῖκες, ὡς Διονύσιος Βασσαρικῶν τρίτῃ ἢ οἳ Δαρσανίην ναῖον πόλιν εὐρυάγυιαν, ἔνθα τε πέπλα γυναῖκες Ἀθηναίης ἰότητι αὐτῆμαρ κροκόωσιν ἐφ´ ἱστοπόδων τανύουσαι, αὐτῆμαρ δ´ ἐτάμοντο [καὶ ἐξ ἱστῶν] ἐρύσαντο. τὸ ἐθνικὸν Δαρσάνιοι ὡς Καρμάνιοι Ὑρκάνιοι ..μάνιοι.

Darsania: an Indian city in which women weave a garment in a single day, as Dionysios in book 3 of his Bassarika:

Or those who dwelt in Darsania, the broad-wayed city,
where women, by Athena's will, dye robes saffron,
stretching them upon the loom-stands, all in a single day;
and that same day they cut them and drew them [from the looms].

The ethnonym is 'Darsanioi', as in 'Karmanioi', 'Hyrkanioi', '...manioi'.
