_Tauth_, ‘father’ in Sanskrit [? tāta]. _Qu._ Teuths, and Toth, the Mercury of Egypt? Footnote 2.6.11: [The author seems to confuse Budha (Mercury) with Gautama Buddha, the teacher. Buddhism arose in India, not in Central Asia, and Jainism was not a milder form of it, but an independent, and probably earlier, religion.] Footnote 2.6.12: Diodorus Siculus book ii. Footnote 2.6.13: The Arvarma of the Puranas; the Jaxartes or Sihun. The Puranas thus describe Sakadwipa or Scythia. Diodorus (lib. ii.) makes the Hemodus the boundary between Saka-Scythia and India Proper. Footnote 2.6.14: Ila, the mother of the Lunar race, is the earth personified. Ertha of the Saxons; ἔρα of the Greeks; _ard_ in Hebrew [?]. Footnote 2.6.15: Scythes, from _Sakatai_, ‘Sakadwipa,’ and _is_, ‘Lord’: Lord of Sakatai, or Scythia [?]. Footnote 2.6.16: _Qu._ Whether the Scythic Pali may not be the shepherd invaders of Egypt [?]. The Pali character yet exists, and appears the same as ancient fragments of the Buddha inscriptions in my possession: many letters assimilate with the Coptic. Footnote 2.6.17: The three great branches of the Indu (Lunar) Aswa bore the epithet of _Midia_ (pronounced _Mede_), viz. Urumidha, Ajamidha, and Dvimidha. _Qu._ The Aswa invaders of Assyria and Media, the sons of Bajaswa, expressly stated to have multiplied in the countries west of the Indus, emigrating from their paternal seats in Panchalaka?

Footnote 2.6.19: Strabo lib. xi. p. 511. Footnote 2.6.20: Dahya (one of the thirty-six tribes), now extinct. Footnote 2.6.21: The Asii and Tochari, the Aswa and Takshak, or Turushka races, of the Puranas, of Sakadwipa [?]. “C’est vraisemblablement d’après le nom de Tachari, que M. D’Anville aura cru devoir placer les tribus ainsi dénommées dans le territoire qui s’appelle aujourdhui Tokarist’han, situé, dit ce grand géographe, entre les montagnes et le Gihon ou Amou” (Note 3, liv. xi. p. 254, Strabon). Footnote 2.6.22: Once more I may state _Sakha_ in Sanskrit has the aspirate: literally, the ‘branches’ or ‘races.’ [_Saka_ and _Sākha_ have no connexion; see Smith, _EHI_, 226.] Footnote 2.6.23: “La Sacasene étoit une contrée de l’Arménie sur les confins de l’Albanie ou du Shirvan” (Note 4, tome i. p. 191, Strabon). “The Sacasenae were the ancestors of the Saxons” (Turner’s _History of the Anglo-Saxons_).
