² Strabo, xv, 52; Aelian, xiii, 10. The chariots of Pōros in the Panjāb were each ‘drawn by four horses, and carried six men, of whom two were shield-bearers, two, archers posted on each side of the chariot, and the other two, charioteers, as well as men-at-arms, for when the fighting was at close quarters they dropped the reins and hurled dart after dart against the enemy’ (Curtius, viii, 14; *ante*, p. 26).
