Probably the modera Tikree of the Indian Atlas, Shoet No. 88, four miles almort duo south of Benares, and on the same side of the river.-R. Mitra (Index of 1856 to the Journal of the Bengal Asiatio Society, p. 209) first pointed out the identification, writing the modern name Tikkári. F. E. Hall (Jour. Beng. As. Soc.
