c11.s1.t14.1
In *Megasthenes und Kauṭilya* (Vienna 1922) Otto Stein came to the following conclusion (p. 302):
c11.s1.t14.2
"On the strength of an intensive comparison between the *Indika* of Megasthenes and the *Arthaśāstra* it is not possible to discover an agreement as some investigators have asserted. The snychronism of the two sources becomes therefore improbable and the authorship of Chandragupta's minister for the *Arthaśāstra* doubtful.''
