c5.35

Seleukos Nikator, king of Syria, is said to have undertaken an expedition against Chandragupta about this time, in order to recover the Indian conquests of Alexander. The result is a treaty by which Seleukos cedes to Chandragupta the eastern parts of Gedrōsia and Arakhōsia, together with the Paropamisos and the territories on the west bank of the Indus, in exchange for 500 elephants.
