³ Arrian here uses the term Gedrosioi in a sense narrower than that of Strabo, who, when describing Ariāna (xv, ch. ii, 8, 9), seems to bring Gedrosia as far east as the Indus. No real discrepancy exists; the satrapy of Gedrosia doubtless included the country of the Oreitai and Arabioi as well as Gedrosia proper. The Oreitai are supposed to be now represented by the Lumri tribes of Las Bela, who claim Rājpūt descent. The Gadurs, one of the Lumri clans, may represent the Gedrosioi.
