Excerpt from Ancient India as Described by Ktêsias the Knidian: Being a Translation of the Abridcement of His "Indika" By Photios, and of the Fragments of That Work Preserved in Other Writers This little book forms the third volume of the series of Annotated Translations of those works of the Classical writers which relate to Ancient India. The volumes already issued contain Translations of the Fragments of Megasthenês - of the Indika of Arrian - and of the Periplûs of the Erythræan Sea; and in those which are to follow will be rendered the Geography of India as given by Strabo and by Ptolemy, and the accounts of the Makedonian Invasion as given by Arrian and by Curtius - and these works will complete the series.
