¹ Alexander must have marched either by the northern road through the Bakrāla Pass, past Rohtās, to Jihlam; or by the road 20 miles farther south through the Bunhār Pass to Jalālpur. Possibly he may have utilized both roads. After his arrival at the river bank he was free to choose his battle-ground (Pearson, 'Alexander, Porus and the Panjab', *Ind. Ant.* 1905, p. 253, with map).
