*Abastanoi.*—The Abastanoi corresponded to the Sanskrit Ambaṣṭhas, who were the same as the Sambastai of Diodorus, Sabarcae of Curtius and Sabagrae of Orosius. In Alexander's time the lower Akesines (Asiknī) was their territory and they had a democratic government. They submitted to Alexander (McCrindle, *Invasion of India*, pp. 292ff.; Law, *Indological Studies*, I, 31ff.).
