Note 51 — Chapter IV · A New Interpretation

See J. G. Droysen, Geschichte des Hellenismus, I, 2, p. 163 ff. This interpretation of events is much more plausible than that of J. Kaerst (Geschichte des hellenistischen Zeitalters, I, p. 369, and n. 2), who argues that the kingdoms of Taxiles and Porus were actually parts of the empire. J. B. Bury (A History of Greece, 2nd ed., 1913, p. 807) very properly maintains the position taken by Droysen.
