¹ The Indian, and also the Greek, accounts of Chandragupta are quoted and discussed by Lassen, *op. cit.* II, pp. 205 sqq. The Greek forms of the name, some of them pointing to a Prākrit original, are Σανδρόκοττος, Σανδράκοττος, Σανδρακόττας, ᾿Ανδρόκοττος, Σανδρόκυπτος. The identification with Chandragupta is due to Sir William Jones (*Asiatic Researches*, IV, p. 11).
