But the same author asserts in \*Anabasis\*, vi, 27, that Alexander, after his arrival at the Gedrosian capital, Poura (mod. Bāmpur), deposed Apollophanes from his satrapy, because he had utterly disregarded his instructions.

Curtius (ix, 10) asserts that the predecessor of Sibyrtios was Memnon, who was 'cut off by some malady'. I cannot reconcile these discrepancies. - [Previous: c16.75](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c16.75) - [Next: c16.77](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c16.77) - [Up: c16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c16) ## Linked texts (2) - [Historiae Alexandri Magni](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.la.imperial.curtius.9.9) — Q.
