[529] The Kophaios of the Greeks is obviously the prince who reigns at Kophen, i. e. at Cabul.

[530] Droysen explains this name, no doubt correctly, from the name of the river Astacenus; loc. cit. s. 374.

[531] Lassen, loc. cit. 1², 502.

[532] Aristobulus in Strabo, p. 691, tells us that the army wintered in the mountain land of the Hippasians and the Assacanus (so we must read here for Μουσικανός). The Guræans must be considered a tribe of the Açvakas.
