    Mahavamsa and Dipavamsa ) and in the Rock Edicts of Ashoka with apparent reference to the island of Sri Lanka. Weerakkody discusses these and other names that have been thought to refer to Sri Lanka in ancient Greek and Roman texts ranging in date from the late fourth century B.C. to the middle of the sixth century A.D. Besides Taprobane, the only names that he accepts as genuine references to the island are Palaisimoundou, Salike, and Sielediba, the latter derived from Sihala-dipa ( Simhala-dvipa ), the ancient Indian name for the island. The name Lanka-dipa, although common in India, apparently was not known by Greek and Latin writers. The introductory chapters to the work discuss the historical conditions that pertained at the times when references to Sri Lanka were incorporated into the ancient Greek and Roman texts. Weerakkody argues that prior to the seventh century A.D., most information about Sri Lanka was acquired by Greek and Roman writers indirectly, through contacts with Indian merchants, envoys or missionaries. Since archaeological excavations have revealed that trade between India and Sri Lanka was well established early in the first millennium B.C., even the earliest Greek writers could have learned of Sri Lanka from Indian sources.
