¹ The Greek and Roman writers spell the name variously, as Massaga, Massaka, Mazaga, and Masoga. Holdich suggests that the fortress stood at or near Matakanai (*The Gates of India*, 1910, p. 128). M. Foucher suggests Katgalla (Kātgalah), some miles farther north (*Sur la Frontière Indo-Afghane*, Paris, 1901, p. 158). Enriquez (*The Pathan Borderland*, 1910, p. 37) suggests a place called Guri as being ‘the supposed Massaga’. Minglaur or Manglawar, which has been proposed as the site and in some respects is suitable, lies too much to the east. For Manglawar, see Raverty, *Notes on Afghanistan*, pp. 200, 234; Stein, *Archaeol. Tour in Bunēr*, Lahore, 1898, p. 53; Deane, *J. R. A. S.*, 1896, p. 655.
