Note 40 — Chapter III · The Huns and the Yué-Chi
Reading edition
Strabo (xi. 8) tells us that the Greek power in Bactria was overthrown by the Asii, Pasiani, Tokhari, and Sakarauli. The first two names are probably identical, and represent the royal family of the Tokhari. They may be identified with the Asiani of Trogus Pompeius. The Sakarauli are the Sarancæ of Trogus, and correspond with the Chinese Sé or Su, i.e. the Sakas. Cf. Cunningham, Survey of India, vol. ii. p. 65.
