1 Curtius 9.3.19; Plut. Alexander 62.4; Arrian. 5.29.1. Fifty cubits would be seventy-five feet.
2 Curtius 9.3.19; Plut. Alexander 62.4.
3 Nicaea and Bucephala lay on what should be called the Hydaspes, but this river (the Jhelum) became the Acesines after its confluence with the Sandabal and the Hyarotis. Below, however (chap. 96.1) Diodorus mentions the confluence of the Acesines and Hydaspes, as if they were different. Or perhaps the Acesines is the Sandabal (Chenab) after all (as Arrian. 6.14.5).
4 Curtius 9.3.21 mentions 7000 foot and 5000 horse, with 25,000 sets of armour inlaid with gold and silver.
5 Arrian. 6.2.4: eighty triaconters and 2080 ships in all (from Ptolemy).
6 Above, chap. 89.6, and note. Arrian. 5.29.5 states that the cities had been partly destroyed by floods.
