v1.c26.185
The assertion of the Greeks that slavery was unknown in India—or, according to Onesicritus, was unknown in the kingdom of Musicanus (Upper Sind)²—is curious. That slavery was a regular institution in India is certain. Indian slavery must have looked so different to a Greek observer from the slavery he knew at home that he did not recognise it for what it was.
