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. - [Previous: c10.s5.70](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c10.s5.70) - [Next: c10.s5.72](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c10.s5.72) - [Up: c10.s5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c10.s5) ## Cites (1) - [Historiae Philippicae](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.la.imperial.pompeius-trogus) — Pompeius Trogus, Latin --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c10.s5.71](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c10.s5.71) · Pramāṇa
