¹ Fick, *SONI*, p. 315, Keith, *CHI*, i, 86; Lassen, *Ind. Alt.*, ii, 174. cf. Weber, *Indische Studien*, xviii, 85-86 and 255. Zimmer identifies the Sudroi of Ptolemy with Brāhūi (*Alt. Leb.*, p. 435), but there seems to be no basis for such a supposition. cf. Hopkins, *Religions of India*, p. 548, fn. 3. Pargiter thinks that Śūdras and Ābhīras were considerably intermixed and closely connected aboriginal races (*Mārk. P.*, Tr., pp. 313-14, fn.).
