The Greeks in Bactria and India c25.10

c25.10

¹ Stephanus s.v. ’Αρσακία. ² JHS xxii, 1902, p. 274. ³ P. 80: ‘Εὐθυμηδία 1, 46; [Εὐθυμήμεια Nonnus 26, 338].’ ⁴ JA 1926 p. 21 n. 1: Rapson (he means Macdonald) thinks Euthydemia conjectural, but ‘cf. toutefois la leçon Εὐθυμήμεια (Nonnus xxvi, 338) citée par Renou, La géographie de Ptolémée p. 80’. ⁵ In fact Nonnus himself did not know a single name from the Indo-Greek period; for Κασπείρων of xxvi, 167, if correct (all MSS have καὶ σπείρων), was certainly merely taken, like so many other names, from the Bassarica of Dionysius (see Stephanus s.v. Κάσπειρος). His few genuine Indian names are taken from the Alexander story. ⁶ P. 118 n. 84. ⁷ His note is: ‘ἐριστοβάρειαν LΩ; Εὐθυμήμειαν m. “Num ’Αριστοβάρειαν?” k*’ (i.e. Koechly). ‘m’ is de Marcellus’ edition.
