To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
) Aerian's narrative of the voyage of Nearchus furnishes the fullest information we have of the geography of the Lower Delta at that time, though unfortunately it leaves very much to be desired. It will be well, in the first place, to remind the reader of his descrip- tion of the first few days' navigation. I translate from C. Miiller's edition of the " Indike, " in his " Geographi Gra^ci Minores, " vol. I. : — " ^Veighing from the naval station, they came to anchor the first day in a large cha...nnel ^- of the Indus, where they stayed two days. The place was named Stoura, and was about a hundred stadia from the naval station. On the third day they weighed, and sailed 30 stadia to another channel, where the water was now salt, for the sea ^^ See Credner, id sup. , I. Theil. 7, " Maas des "Wachsthums der Deltas. " ^- The Siwpvxfs which the Greeks met with in the Lower Delta were certainly not canals, as some have supposed, but natural channels -which intersect the land near the coast in all directions.
