c8.s1.2

The other important work of Arrian is the *Indica*, written in the Ionian dialect. It gives a general description of India based chiefly on the accounts of the country given by Megasthenes and Eratosthenes. It also includes an account of the voyage made by Nearchus, based entirely on the narrative of the voyage written by Nearchus himself.
