⁴ See Thomas, *J.R.A.S.* 1906, pp. 191, n. 1, 460–461, and the works there cited, especially E. J. Rapson, *J.R.A.S.* 1905, pp. 783–784; J. Marquart, *Ērānšahr*, pp. 280–281; and cf. idem, *Unters. z. Gesch. v. Eran*, II, 180, Leipzig, 1905. Capisa is the Kia-pi-shi of Hiuen Tsiang and the Ki-pin of other Chinese texts. The name is found in the first element of the compound O.P. Kāpiša-kāni, the name of a stronghold mentioned in the inscriptions of Darius (Bh. 3, 61). Marquart (*Unters.* II, 180), with others, inclines to regard the two places as identical, although objections may be raised that Kāpiša-kāni was located in Arachosia (the El. version, 3, 25 expressly adding ‘in Arachosia’). Still much depends on determining the extent of the confines of Arachosia in the time of Darius.
