[42] As was shown in Vol. IV. p. 278, the Vishnu Purana represents the sacrificial horse of Pushpamitra, who sat on the throne of Magadha between 178 and 142 B.C. (Vol. IV. p. 550), to have been carried off by an army of Yavanas on the right bank of the Indus, and then restored. The dominion of the Græco-Bactrian princes in the East existed from 200 to 150 B.C. [43] Strabo, p. 516. I need not prove that [Greek: Iômanês] must be read here for [Greek: Isamos], or that [Greek: Saraostou paralia] is Surashtra; cf. Wilson, "Ariana antiq." p. 281. Apollodotus, Apaladata on the Arian legends of his coins, is no doubt the Bhagadatta of the Mahabharata, just as the Dattamitra there mentioned is Demetrius; Vol. IV. p. 80, _n_. Among the Indians Menander appears in the form Milinda. [44] In the year 1843 there were about 1000 Guebre families in Yezd, and a hundred in Kerman. Westergaard, "Avesta," 1, 21: the persecution of 1848 considerably reduced their numbers. [45] Haug, "Pahlavi-Pazand Glossary," pp. 80, 81. [46] "Vendid." 1, 73-76. [47] "Vendid." 1, 46.

The statement in the Bundehesh that Airyana Vaeja was situated beside Atropatene is, however, of very little weight against the fact that the Arians of East Iran are nearest to the Arians of India. I shall return to this point below. The remark in Stephanus, "[Greek: Ariania], a nation among the Cadusians," would be of some importance if it were taken from Apollodorus of Artemita, and not from the grammarian of that name. The district of Arran on the Kur may possibly be meant. [50] "Vendid." 1, 14-18. [51] "Vendid." 1, 30, 42. [52] "Vendid." 1, 60. [53] "Yaçna," 9, 4.
