c10.s1.178

⁶ Alexandria no. 5, ἐν τῇ Ὀπιάνῃ κατὰ τὴν Ἰνδικήν. Opiane is the regio referred to in Pliny VI, 92, deinde cujus oppidum Alexandria a conditore dictum; the clause, often misunderstood, is quite complete as it stands, regio being understood after deinde from the clause before. Pliny’s sixth book is only a collection of notes very briefly transcribed; but VI, 92, the Paropamisadae, is good stuff if properly construed.
