With regard to Avestan place names that may be localised in parts of Baluchistān there is more uncertainty. It is thought by some, for example, but denied by others, that Av. Urvā (Vd. i, 10) may thus be a locality near the Indian border³. It might also be possible to suggest that the Avestan name Peshana (Yt. v, 109) may still survive in the Baluchī town Pishīn, near Quetta, but it would be difficult to prove this.
