This, of all the places subject to the Parthians, lies nearest to India. It is distant 10,000 or 9000 stadia from Bactriana, through the country of the Arachoti, and the above-mentioned mountainous tract. Craterus traversed this country, subjugating those who refused to submit, and hastened with the greatest expedition to form a junction with the king. Nearly about the same time both armies, consisting of infantry, entered Carmania together, and at a short interval afterwards Nearchus sailed with his fleet into the Persian Gulf, having undergone great danger and distress from wandering in his course, and among other causes, from great whales. > — Hans Claude Hamilton & William Falconer 1854, The Geography of Strabo - [Previous: 15.2.10](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.gr.roman.strabo.15.2.10) - [Next: 15.2.12](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.gr.roman.strabo.15.2.12) - [Up: 15.2](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.gr.roman.strabo.15.2) ## Translations (2) - [The Geography of Strabo](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.gr.roman.strabo~en-hamilton-falconer.15.2.11) — Hans Claude Hamilton & William Falconer 1854, English - [Ancient India as Described in Classical Literature (Strabo, book 15)](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.gr.roman.strabo~en-mccrindle.15.2.11) — John Watson McCrindle 1901, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/inf.gr.roman.strabo.15.2.11](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.gr.roman.strabo.15.2.11) · Pramāṇa
