The Greeks in Bactria and India c10.s5.71

c10.s5.71

¹ *Prol.* XLI, Saraucae et Asiani Bactra occupavere et Sogdianos, which has been taken by Marquart (*Ērānšahr*, Gött. Abh. III, 1901, p. 205), Konow (*CII* p. xxii, *JIH* 1933 p. 6), and Herzfeld (*Sakastan* p. 26), to mean that the Saraucae occupied Bactria and the Asiani Sogdiana. A Latin writer who meant this would have said so; Trogus’ sentence, from its form, can only be a perfectly general statement. Herrmann, *Sakai* in PW col. 1617, properly rejected Marquart’s view.
