^{page 71 note 1} The Germans whom Theodoric in the sixth century located in the mountains of the Vicentino, and who are known as the “ Sette Communi,” are to this day Germans;and the French refugees after the Edict of Nantes, who settled at Friedrichsdorf in Hesse Homburg, are still French; that these Eretrians then should during so many years have retained their language and customs is nothing very extraordinary. But is it not strange that from the day of their expulsion from Greece their voice has never been heard save in these pages of Philostratus? and almost incredible, that, though so near to Babylon, they escaped the notice of Alexander and his historians* who the one so signally punished, and the other so carefully recorded the punishment of the perfidious and self-exiled Branchidse ?— Strabo 1. xi. xii. c. 49.

^{page 71 note 2} So Burnes describes the plain of Peshawar, “ thyme and violets perfumed the air,” (Cabool, ii. 70.) At Muchnee “a sweet aromatic smell was exhaled from the grass and plants,” (ib. 101).

^{page 71 note 3} Wilford says “ the Indian ocean is called Arunoda, or the Red Sea.” (As. Res. viii. p. 316)

^{page 71 note 5} The same tale is in Arrian and Strabo. Wilford thus accounts for i t: not far from Banyam is the den of Garuda, the bird-god; he devoured some servants of Maha Deva, andthis drew upon him the resentment of that irascible deity, whose servants are called Pramat'has.—As. Res. viii. 259.

^{page 72 note 5} Elphinstone says “An elderly minister of the Raja of Bikaneer… had just come on a camel 175 miles in three days. (Caubul, Introduction, p. 230, I. v.) Sir C. Napier mentions a march of 80 or 90 miles by his camel corps without a halt (” Life of Sir Ch. Napier,” II., 418), and has no doubt with riding camels of marching 200 miles in 48 hours.—III., 78.

^{page 72 note 6} An exaggeration of a remark of Arrian's, probably: ειΓοΦαγοι δε…Iνδοισιν, όσιγΕ μη ορειοι ανΓοι δε Γα θηρεια κρεα σιΓεονΓα (”Indiea,” xvii. § 5) e. g. “ bears’ flesh and anything else they can get (Elphinstone of Caufiristaun, ib. II., 434), “they all eat flesh half raw,”— ib.438.

^{page 72 note 7} Of the same mountaineers, Elphinstone: “they drink wine to excess”(ib.)Elian, I. 61, speaks of the Indian drinking bouts; Pliny of the wine: “Reliquos vinum ut Indos palmis exprimere” (Hist. Nat., vi, 32). The Vishnu Purana of wine from the Kadamba tree,— p. 571, note 2.

^{page72 note 8} The Indian money is: ύλη κεκομψΕυμΕνη, metal refined, prepared: theRoman κεχαραγμενηstamped. In Menu's time gold and silver coins were probably unknown, for he gives (viii, 131,) “ the name of copper, silver, and gold weights commonly used among men:” Υλη κεκομψΕυμενηprobably; but when Apollonius visited India we know that money, gold and silver coins were current, issued by the Indo-Greek and Indo-Scythic kings,— videLassen, “ Baktrische Kb'nige,'’ passim

^{1page 73 note 1} Nishadha, probably, to the south of Meru (Vishnu Purana, 167.) Arrian similarly connects Tmolus with Nysa (Exped. Alex. v. 1.)

^{page 73 note 2} Laurels and ivy Alexander finds on Meru; vines, too, by implication (Arrian Exped. v. ii. 6§). Burnes says that in Cabool the vines are so plentiful that the grapes are given for three months in the year to cattle (ut sup.ii. 131. Seealso Wilson's Ariana Antiq. p. 193.)

^{page 73 note 3} Chares (”Hist. Alex.,” p. 117, §13) one of the historians of Alexander, speaks of an Indian god Σοροαξειος, which in Greek means οινοΠοιος, the wine maker, Sanscrit, Suradevas (von Bohlen), but the Vishnu Purana knows of nowinegod, only of a wine goddess (videp. 76). In general, however, Bacchus may be identified with Siva, and Hercules with Vishnu and Krishna.

^{page 73 note 4} For the Indo-Baechus myth see Arrian, v. 1, who receives it with hesitation; and Strabo, xv. 1, 9, who rejects it; Lassen, Ind. Alt. I I. 133; von Bohlen, utsup., I. 142; and Schwanbeck on Megasthenes, “ Frag, Hist.,” I I. 420, Didot.

^{page 74 note 1} According to Avrian, utsup, and I I. 5, it was Meru that Alexander ascended, and on Meru that he feasted and sacrificed to Bacchus.

^{page 74 note 2} Aornus; Awara, Awarana, a Stockade.—Wilson Ariana Antiqua., p. 192; but Kenas according to v. Bohlen, and Rani-garh according to Lassen, Indische Alterthums: 140, note 7.

^{page 74 note 3} Just in the same locality (see Arrian, IV. xxx. 7) Alexander first sees a troop of elephants, and afterwards joins in an elephant hunt.

^{page 75 note 1} Pliny (viii. v.) describes the elephant as crossing rivers in the same way; he speaks of their wonderful self-respect, “ mirus pudor,” and of one called Ajax; Arrian (lndica, c. 14 and 15) of their grief at being captured, of their attachment to their keepers, their love of music, and their long life extending though to but 200 years (Onesicritus gives them 300, and sometimes 500 years.—Strabo, xv.);./Elian (xiii. §9), and Pliny (viii.), state that they carry three warriors only, and are much larger than the African. The division into marsh and plain, &c, I suspect, is from Juba.

^{page 75 note 2} Ctesias (58 §) says the Indus Is 40 stadia where narrowest. See Lessen, ut tupra, II. 637, who accounts for Ctesias’ exaggeration (his reasons do not apply to Damis), and Wilson's Notes on the lndica of Ctesias, who excuses it (p. 13).

^{page 75 note 3} “Indus.…in jugo Caueasi montis.… effusus.… undeviginti accipit amnes.… nusquam latior quinquapinta sladiis.”—Pliny Hist. Nat., vi. 23.

^{page 75 note 4} So Ctesias, so Ibn Batuta: “ The Scinde is the greatest river in the world, and overflows during the hot weather just as the Nile does; and at this time they sow the land.” Burnes, I think, shows that it carries a greater body of water than the Ganges.

^{page 76 note 1} Eratosthenes gives it the same animals as the Nile, except the sea-horse. Onesicritus the sea-horse also; Strabo, xv. 1, 13.

^{page 76 note 2} Sir C. Napier attributed a fever which prostrated his army and the natives, to an extraordinary rise of the Indus.—Quarterly Review, Oct. 1858, p. 499.

^{page 76 note 3} Arrian's Indica: “Their dress is of cotton, their sandals of leather;” but Herodotus gives the Egyptian priests ύΠοδημια βυβλινΠ, II. 37.

^{page76 note 4} Wilford (As. Res. viii. 349), speaks of Tacshaila and its ruins; Wilson identifies Taxila with Taksha-sila of the Hindus between the Indus and Hydaspes, in the vicinity of Manikyala.—Ar. Ant., 196. Arrian celebrates its size and wealth the largest city between the Indus and the Hydaspes. V. 8 c. Exped. Alex.

^{page 76 note 5} Bam Raz, (Architecture of the Hindus, p. 2,) of the temples of Vishnu and Siva, says, that the latter should be without the village. Hiouen-Thsang (I. 151) describes Taxila, and speaks of a stupa and convent outside the walls, built by Asoka.

^{page 76 note 6} The tope of Manikyala, described by Elphinstone, is 100 feet in circumference, and 70 feet high (Ari. Ant. 31). Lassen (II. 514 and 1151) speaks of the influence of Greek art on Indian architecture; but adds, that the Indians built with brick. They may, however, have faced their buildings with stone; and the λιθος κογχυλιαΓοςmay have been of that porphyry, or red marble, used in the tombs at Tattah.—Life of Sir C. Napier, iv. 38.

^{page 77 note 1} Lassen (513–4) states, on Singhalese authority, that the Hindus were skilled in mosaics; and (II. 426–7) he describes a casket the figures on which he supposes were of a mosaic of precious stones.

^{page 79 note 3} Menu of the kingly duties: “ Having consulted with his ministers.… having used exercise becoming a warrior, and having bathed, let the king enter at noon hisprivate apartments for the purpose of taking food” (vii. 216). But Strabo (xv. I. 51) says, the Indians use friction rather than gymnastic exercises.

^{page 79 note 4} “ Le roi et ses ministres ornent leurs tetes de guirlandes de fleurs.”—Hiouen Thsang, p. 70,1. v.

^{page 79 note 5} Strabo, quoting Nearchus, better describes the Indians, at least hedescribes them as we at this day find them: μηδε Υαρ Υαρνοσονς Υαρνοσονςειναι Πολλας δια ΓΠν λιΓοΓηΓα Γης διαιΓης καί Γην αοινιαν (xv. 1, 45), their food principally ορυςαν ροΦηΓην, rice curry or porridge ?—§53.

^{page 80 note 1} A Chinese juggler lately performed the same feat in London.

^{page 80 note 2} Allusion to Thucydides, I.

^{page 80 note 3} Strabo of the Indian city sediles says a part took note of the births and deaths, that the birth or death of good or bad men may be known: αΦανΕις ειεν αίκρειΓονες καί χειρους γοναι καί θαναΓοι (xv. 1, 51); from Megasthenes, Frag. Hist., I I. p. 431, § 37, and consult Bardesanestos’ account of the Σαμαναιοιin 1. iv. c. 17 of Porphyry de Abstinentia.

^{page 81 note 1} Strabo, xv. I. 33, connects them with the Malli. Burnes identifies them with the people of Ooch, the Malli with those of Mooltan.— Ut sup. I., p. 99.

^{page 82 note 2} These embossments represented, the king goes on to say, Hercules setting up his pillars at Gades, and driving back the ocean—proof, he asserts, that it was the Egyptian, and not the Theban, Hercules who was at Gades.

^{page 82 note 3} Menu, among the vices the king is to shun, names dancing and instrumental music (vii. 47), but afterwards advises that, “ in the inmost recesses of his mansion, having been recreated by musical strains, he should take rest early.”—vii. 224–5; see, however, As. Res., ix. p. 76.

^{page 83 note 1} Elphinstone (ut supra, I. 40) speaks of white camels as rare.

^{page 83 note 2} Probably, suggests Wilford, a corruption from Rac'hyas.—As. Res., ix. 41.

^{page 83 note 3} Hydraotis, in Strabo Hyarotis, Sanskrit Iravati; Hyphasis, Vipasa.—Vishnu Purana, p. 181.

^{page 84 note 1} This worm is mentioned and described by Ctesias, but he places it in the Indus.—Frag. Ctes. Ed. Didot, 27, p. 85.

^{page 84 note 2} This ass and its horn, with some slight difference, are also in Ctesias (ib., p. 2–5). Wilson sees in this horned as3 two animals “ rolled into one,” the gorkhar, or wild horso, found north of the Hindu-Koh, and the rhinoceros, whose horn has to this day, in the East, a high reputation as an antidote.—Notes 6n Ctesias, 53 and 49.

^{page 84 note 3} Strabo, xv. I. 22, butin the south ot India. I believe it isindigenous”to Ceylon, and is not found in India at all.

^{page 85 note 1} Strabo (ib., § 29) describes a similar trick, by means of which the people catch the monkeys. With regard to that described in the text, Waterton has observed, that the monkey never throws, only lets fall.

^{page 85 note 2} Elphinstone, describing this bank of the Hrphasis, tells only of sand-hills, and hard clay, and tufts of grass, and little bushes of rue. Of the right bank, however, he says: “ There were so many large and deep watercourses throughout the journey, that, judging from them alone, the country must be highly cultivated.” —Introd. Burnes, too, observes of Balkh: “ The crops are good, and the wheat stalks grow as high as in England, and do not present the stunted stubble of India.” — Ut sup., II., 206.

^{page 85 noten 3} Can this be the purple mangosteen, such as it might be described by those who only knew of it from hearsay?

^{page 85 note 4} Almost all that is here said of serpents will be found in Pliny (viii., 11, 13); their size, though scarcely so large as those of Philostratus, is noticed by Onesicritusand Nearehus (Frj;. Hist. Alex.; p. 60 and 105, Didot.); their beards by Jelian (xi., c. 26); the beardand the stone in their heads, with some difference (the stones are αυΓογλυΦοι,)by Tzetzes from Poseidippus-.— Chil., vii., 653, 609; the magic power of their eyes by Lucan (vii. 657).

^{page 86 note 1} The snake charmer still exists in India. Bochart (Hierozo., cvi. III., II. v.) gives all the passages in ancient authors bearing on the subject.

^{page 87 note 1} Strabo (ut sup., c.22)says, they have no musical instruments besides cymbals, drums, and κρόΓαλοι(rattles, castanets?).

^{page 87 note 4} Ctesias tells of a sacred place in an uninhabited part of the country, which the Indians honour in the name of the sun and the moon; it is fifteen days’ journey from the Sardian mountains — Γου όρους Γης Σαρδους § 8, p. 81.

^{page 88 note 1} “In the morning, vapours or clouds of smoke ascended from the wells till the atmosphere was sufficiently heated to hide it,” between the Ravi and the Chenab. —Burnes, II., 38.

^{page 88 note 2} With the well of the text compare the test fountain in Ctesias; its water hardens into a cheese-like substance, which, rubbed into a powder and mixed with water, administered to suspected criminals makes them tell all they erer did (§ 14, p. 82); also the water of probation mentioned by Porphyry. With the fire of pardon compare that other water, in some cave temple seemingly, which purified from voluntary and involuntary offences (Porphyry de Styge).

^{page 88 note 3} Olearius, h. J., suggests that these may have been barometers; and then Damis, like the astronomer in Kasselas, merely confounds the power of feretelling with the power of producing.

^{page 89 note 2} Sir C. Napier says, of Trukkee, “ On reaching the top, where we remained during the night, every man's bayonet had a bright flame on the point. A like appearance had also been observed going from Ooch to Shapoor.”—Life, III., 272. May not the night light of the Sophoi be referred to some similar phenomenon?

^{page 89 note 3} Compare with these fountains those of milk, wine, &c, of which Calanus speaks in his interview with Onesicritus (Strabo, ut sup., § 64); and that happy India, a real pays de Cocagne, which Dio Ohrysostom ironically describes in Celsenis Phrygise Orat., xxxv., II., p. 70.

^{page 89 note 5} Still worn by some of the mountain tribes about Cabool. Elphinstonesays of the Bikaneers, “they wear loose clothes of white cotton, and a remarkable turban which rises high over the head.”—Cabool, I., 18.

^{page 89 note 6} Hierocles speaks of the Brahman garments as made from a soft and hairy(δερμαΓωδη)filaments obtained from stones (asbestos).—Frag. Hist., iv. p. 430. Burnes says of the Nawab of Cabool, “ he produced some asbestos, here called cotton-stone, found near Jelalabad” (ii. 138).

^{page 90 note 1} “ The three first classes ought to carry staves.”—Menu, i. 45. “ The priest's should reach to his hair.”—Ib., 46.

^{page 90 note 2} When Damis speaks of his knowledge of languages to Apollonius, Apollonius merely observes that he himself understands all languages, and that without having learned them; and more—that he knows not only what men speak, but their secret thoughts (L. I., cxix.) But asin India he is accompanied by, and frequently makes use of an interpreter; this pretension of his has, from the time of Eusebius (in Hieroclem, xiv.), been frequently ridiculed as an idle boast. Philostratus however was too practised a writer to have left his hero open to such a charge. His faults are of another kind. His facts and statements too often, and with a certain air of design, confirm and illustrateeach other: thus, with regard to this very power claimed by Apollonius, observe that lie professes notto speak, but to know all languages and men's thoughts—a difference intelligible to all who are familiar with the alleged facts of mesmerism; and look at him in his first interview with Phraotes;watch him listening to, and understanding the talk of the king and the sages, and only then asking Iarchas to interpret for him when he would himself speak. Observe also that Iarchas admits only to a certain extent the power of Apollonius, and remember his surprise when he finds that Phraotes knows and speaks Greek.

^{page 91 note 1} “ At sunrise, at noon, and at sunset, let the Brahman go to the waters and bathe.”—Menu, vi. 22. “ Sunrise and sunset are the hours when, having made his ablution, he repeats the text which he ought to repeat.”— II., 222. From the Vishnu Purana, however, it seems the Richas shine in the morning, the prayers of the Yajush at noon, and portions of the Saman in the afternoon.—p. 235.

^{page 92 note 2} Wilford refers this to the legend of Bhagiratha, “ who led the Ganges to the ocean, tracing with the wheels of his chariot two furrows, which were to be the limits of her encroachments.”—As. Res., viii. 298.

^{page 95 note 1} Ibn Batuta speaks of Hindus 120, 130, and 140 years of age. Bumes of one at Cabul of 114, apparently with all his faculties about him.—II., 109.

^{page 96 note 1} According to Megasthenes, ειναι δε кj τοδε μεγα εν τņ Iνδων γņ παντας Irδους ειναι ελερους.—Arrian Indica, xi. ουδε Iνδοις αλλος δουλος εστι. Onesicritus limits this to the subjects of Musicanus.—Strabo, ut sup., § 54.

^{page 97 note 1} Megasthenes (Strabo, ut supra, § 59) gives pretty nearly the same account of the Brahmanicil doctrines, that the world has a beginning, and will have an end; that God, its raler and creator, pervades it; that besides the four elements there is a fifth, sether; and Alexander Polyhistor asserts that Pythagoras was a disciple of the Brahmans; Frg. Hist., III. § 138, p. 239, and p. 241 mentions sether as one of the Pythagorean elements.

^{page 97 note 2} The boat among the Hindus is one of the types of the earth.—Wilford As. Res., viii. 274; Von Bohlen quotes this passage to prove that the Hindus had the knowledge of one God.—Das Alte Indien, i. 152.

Wilson (Ariana Antiqua) has shown from the Mahabharata, that this story has an Indian foundation. § Those tribes between Meru and Mandura verily presented in lumps of a drona weight, that gold which is dug up by Pippilikas (ants), and which is therefore called ‘ Pippilika ant-gold,’” (p. 135, note); and see A Journey to Lake Mànasaròvara, by Moorcroft, who speaks of a sort of marmot in the gold country which Scliwanbeck supposes to be the original of this ant.—As.
