The spot higher up the river to which Alexander marched by night in order to ‘steal a passage’ was situated at ‘a remarkable bend’ in the stream, which helped to conceal his movements.¹ There is no such bend at the spot above Jalālpur, between the villages of Mandiala and Kothera, where Cunningham locates the passage (*Reports*, ii, pl. LXVI). But there is such a bend at Bhūnā above Jihlam, where Abbott rightly locates it.
