The Greeks in Bactria and India c10.s4.132

c10.s4.132

³ Ptol. VII, 1, 46, 47. In 45 he has explicitly given the towns between the Indus and the Jhelum; 46 therefore starts from beyond (east of) the Jhelum, though his phrase περὶ τὸν Βιδάσπην obscures this. As the list runs geographically from Bucephala to Mathurā it certainly relates to Menander’s home kingdom. Even Mr Whitehead, who would like to confine Greeks to the northern foothills, admits that Menander ruled Mathurā, *NNM* p. 45.
