c10.s2.95
⁶ Strabo xv, 698: we know India within the Hypanis καὶ εἴ τινα προσειστόρησαν οἱ μετ’ ἐκεῖνον (Alexander) προελθόντες μέχρι τοῦ Γάγγου καὶ Παλιβόθρων. The word προελθόντες shows that a military expedition is meant and excludes the possibility of the reference being to Megasthenes, who anyhow could not be classified under Alexander’s successors (οἱ μετ’ ἐκεῖνον).
