§ 78. Some of the states treated ambiguously by the Greeks were very likely Saṁghas. We have already seen a few of this class. The state of *Phegelas* is probably another of them.¹ The name has been taken by scholars to be identical with Sanskrit *Bhagala*, in view of the Gaṇapāṭha's *Bhāgala*² which comes along with the republican Traigartas. Alexander's *Phegelas* occupied the same region. Another such state was that of the *Glausai* or *Glaukanikoi*³ (Arrian) who appear to be republican. They are identical with the *Glauchukāyanakas* of the Kāśikā.⁴
