¹ Curtius, viii, 12. The country of Pōros lay between the Hydaspes (Jihlam) and the Akesinēs (Chināb), and contained 300 towns (Strabo, xv, 29). The Indian form of the name or title transcribed as Pōros by the Greeks is not known. Pūru was the name of a Vedic tribe. The guess that it might be *Paurava* is not convincing.
