CHAPTER I
ON ALEXANDER'S CAMPAIGN IN THE PANJĀB
Section 1—ALEXANDER'S ALTARS AND THE COURSE OF
THE BEĀS
RESUMED explorations within ancient Gedrosia formed the first object of
the journey on which I had planned to start in the autumn of 1931. For
this purpose my intention was to enter Persian Balūchistān from its extreme
south-eastern corner, close to where my explorations in 1928 had brought me
on the side of British Makrān. Adequate time had to be allowed for the
Persian authorities to make arrangements about my escort, &c., before I could
start on my journey in that outlying part of their territory but recently brought
once more under effective political control. The interval thus afforded enabled
me to take up the examination on the spot of two questions of ancient topo-
graphy bearing on Alexander's Indian campaign which long before had attracted
my attention. The opportunity was also used to visit several old sites in the
adjacent parts of the north-western Panjāb containing antiquarian remains of
interest from various points of view.
For the purpose of the present record it will be convenient throughout to
follow the sequence of my movements. I shall therefore deal first with the
short preliminary tour which antiquarian and practical considerations induced me
to devote to an examination of the ground where Alexander's invasion into
the plains of north-western India came to its end by the banks of the Hyphasis,
the present Beās. It was here that the great Macedonian conqueror on his
amazing progress through Asia was at last forced to turn back by the war-
weariness of his hard-tried troops. This fact alone would suffice to invest the
ground with much historical interest. But since all classical records of the
campaign contain mention of the great tower-like structures, the famous 'twelve
altars' which Alexander had erected to mark the farthest point of his advance,¹
exact determination of the site might claim distinct archaeological importance.
The indications to be gathered from the classical accounts as to the line fol-
lowed by Alexander's army on the march from the Hydaspes or Jhēlum do not
furnish sufficient topographical evidence to determine with even approximate
