The people called Aspasians by the Greeks may be regarded as denoting some western branch of the well-known Aśvaka or Aśmaka-tribe. The Iranian name Aspa corresponds to Sanskrit Aśva or Aśvaka (*C.H.I.*, Vol.I, p. 352, n. 3; B. C. Law, *Indological Studies*, Part I, pp. 1-2; Law, *Tribes in Ancient India*, pp. 180ff.).
