Being afraid to adventure so long a Sea Voyage, as from Indus to the Persian Gulfe, lest his glorious lustre of victory and Fortune hitherto attending him might so be drowned; the Monson serving (the Etesiae then ceasing which there blew in Summer) he committed the Fleet to Nearchus, which put forth to Sea on the twentieth day of Boedro- mion, in the eleventh yeere of King Alexanders reigne. Nearchus sacrificed also before his departure, to Jupiter the Saviour, and likewise instituted Games ; o...n that day of his departure he came to a great river called Stura, River Stura. about 100 furlongs, and staied there two dales. On the third day hee came to another River called Caumana thirty furlongs further, where the water began to be salt, arid the tide ascended. Thence he sailed twenty furlongs to Coreatis within the River. Moving thence they saw the white frothy surge at the mouth of the River, and in a ditch or channel! made of five furlongs, he anchored his fleet when the tyde came 150.
