difficulties. Arrian, the historian of the expedition, merely
remarks that "when Alexander arrived in Kirman, Krateros
joined him, bringing the rest of the army and the elephants."
Apparently, Krateros went via Quetta to Kandahar, whence
his route is agreed to have been down the Helmund to Sey-
istan. So far the line of march would present no insuperable
difficulties even to-day; though Bellew, who followed the
same route, relates that where the road made a détour to get
around an impassable portion of the river valley, some of
his men nearly died of thirst on the hot gravel plain. Beyond
Seyistan, Krateros's route must have led across the southern
end of the desert of Dasht-i-Lut to Narmashir. As St. John
says: "It would certainly puzzle a Krateros nowadays to
march his elephants and heavy baggage from the Helmund
to Narmashir; but there is every reason to suppose that part
of Persia to have been far better populated and better
watered than it is at present." The greater part of the dis-
tance of one hundred and eighty miles from the borders of
Seyistan to Narmashir is the most absolute desert, either
waterless, or supplied only with the most brackish wells.
Nasratabad, the one village, could scarcely furnish sup-
plies for a hundred men, and everything for an army would
have to be brought from Seyistan. Yet the route was once
so important that strong fortifications, caravanserais, and
other ancient ruins occur at frequent intervals, as do also
kariz. Speaking of the eastern ninety miles of the route
from Narmashir to Seyistan, Smith says that at both of the
two possible stopping-places "water was obtainable by
digging wells 5 feet deep, but it was brackish and bad; and
at the latter place there is a stream so salt and bitter that
