Note 50 — Chapter I · THE CONQUESTS OF ALEXANDER

Sylvain Lévi, “Bouddhisme et les Grecs,” Revue de l’Histoire des Religions, 1891, p. 2; Percy Gardner, Catalogue of Bactrian and Indian Coins in British Museum. Arts other than the plastic also received attention. Amitrochates, son of the famous Chandragupta or Sandracottus, wrote to Antiochus (Soter?) to buy him some sweet wine, dried figs, and a sophist. He received the other commodities, but was told that it was not lawful to sell sophists in Greece. See Athenaeus, Deipnosophistae, Bk XIV. c. 67 quoting Hegesander.
