³ The ancient road did not pass through the Khaibar (Khyber) Pass (Holdich, *The Indian Borderland*, 1901, p. 38); Foucher, *Notes sur la géographie ancienne du Gandhāra* (Hanoi, 1902, in *Bull. de l'École Fr. d'Extrême-Orient*). The Khaibar route probably was used once by Mahmūd of Ghaznī, and certainly several times by Bābur and Humāyun. In the eighteenth century, Nādir Shāh, Ahmad Shāh Abdāli, and his grandson, Shāh-i-Zamān, all passed through the Khaibar (Raverty, *Notes*, pp. 38, 73).
