⁴ Kiessling, *Hydaspes* 2 in PW. Orosius V, 14, 6 (Mithridates I conquers from the Hydaspes to the Indus), from Livy, shows that it was the boundary of Iran, though the conquest may have been transferred to him from the later ‘Indo-Parthians’. Herzfeld, *Sakastan* p. 40, says there was no Hydaspes in Iran and would read in Orosius Choaspes (near Susa), which makes no sense; moreover the name graecised as Hydaspes seems to be not Indian but Iranian: *CHI* p. 568; J. Charpentier, *JRAS* 1927 p. 115.
