¹ Marquart, *Untersuchungen z. Gesch. von Eran* I p. 30 n. 136, made its people the Barkanioi (O. P. Varkāna), which he thought the same word as Ferghana. But Stephanus *s.v.* definitely makes this tribe neighbours of the Hyrcanians; and they appear in the army of Darius III (Curt. III, 2, 6), who certainly did not rule Ferghana. Herzfeld has located the Paricani in Ferghana, p. 285 n. 3.
