Abstract
Mr. M. P. Charlesworth seems to have been too sceptical when he remarked (Classical Quarterly, xxii, 1928, p. 93) that ‘the names of the Indian princelets given in the Periplus are unidentifiable, or rather too easily identifiable with any one, to be of any use’. Actually, the ruler mentioned in ch. 41 is identifiable beyond reasonable doubt, and (even more important) his date is practically certain.Keywords
