The apex of the Delta was probably near Kalari, about 40 miles north of Bahmanābād, in approximately N. lat. 26° 40′ and E. long. 68° 30′. For the discussion of Alexander’s movements the identity of Patala and Bahmanābād may be assumed, although it cannot be fully proved.² - [Previous: c16.60](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c16.60) - [Next: c16.62](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c16.62) - [Up: c16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c16) ## Linked texts (1) - [Kalari](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.kalari) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c16.61](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c16.61) · Pramāṇa
