v2.c22.s14.7

As to the strange inhabitants in the lowlands along the Indus the Fan-chih gives an account slightly different from the pilgrim’s. The Fang-chih places the tribe on the side of the Black (Wu 烏) River, and makes the people to have been sheep-rearers; it adds that all of them, male and female, shaved off their hair, wore the monk’s garb, and were outwardly bhikshus.
