The Greeks in Bactria and India c16.32

Before going further, I must mention one later study. Diwan Bahadur Professor K. H. Druva,³ after premising that in all the MSS all the lines but twelve and many proper names are corrupt and many lines misplaced, has reconstructed the story with liberal alteration of proper names and, as he admits, free use of conjecture, inference, and ‘guesses at truth’;⁴ his ideas of Greek history are somewhat antiquated, and the result, I fear, is too arbitrary to be of any use to the historian. But he has made one or two acute suggestions, which will be noticed where they belong.
