¹ Sir M. A. Stein suggests Jahāngīra, an ancient site on the left bank of the Kābul River, some six miles above the point where it flows into the Indus at Attock (see Stein, *Memoir on the Anc. Geogr. of Kaśmīr*, pp. 11–13, Calcutta, 1899, reprinted from *J.A.S. Bengal*, vol. LXVIII, pt. 1, extra No. 2, 1899). Marquart, *Untersuch. z. Gesch. v. Eran*, II, 178–180, 242, and n. 8, 246, n. 3, favours as the location an ancient town known in Sanskrit as Pushkalāvatī. Compare also Prášek, *Gesch. d. Med. u. Perser*, II, 38; and V. A. Smith, *Early Hist. India*, 3rd ed., pp. 37–38, n. 1. Sarre and Herzfeld, *Iran. Felsreliefs*, pp. 26, 253, seem inclined to revive the old idea of associating the name with Kashmīr, cf. H. H. Wilson, *Ariana Antiqua*, pp. 136–137, London, 1841.
