expedition to India (B.C. 331), in which he speaks of King Carman ruler of
an extensive province in Asia, along the northern side of the Persian
Gulf. Strabo (Volume XV, page 726,etc.) Pliny (Volume VI, pages 23,
etc.) and Ptolomey (Volume VI) and others of the ancient historians
(Nearchus' "Voyages," also "History of the Wars of Antioch and
Ptolomey") have interesting details of this King and his domains, then
known as Carmania, which appears to have comprehended the coast line of
the modern Laristan, Karman or Kerman, and Moghostan. The inhibitants of
Cartmania were called Carmanii, or Karmanii, and appear to have been a
warlike, high spirited and independent race, and, according to Strabo,
well advanced in the arts and sciences, see also Smith's "Dictionary of
Greek and Roman Geography").
