<!--Some information on [[Greco-Bactrians]] are preserved in Strabo's work:
:''"The Greeks who caused [[Bactria]] to revolt grew so powerful on account of the fertility of the country that they became masters, not only of [[Ariana]], but also of [[India]], as Apollodorus of Artemita says: and more tribes were subdued by them than by [[Alexander the Great|Alexander]]--by [[Menander I|Menander]] in particular (at least if he actually crossed the [[Hypanis]] towards the east and advanced as far as the [[Imaus]]), for some were subdued by him personally and others by [[Demetrius I of Bactria|Demetrius]], the son of [[Euthydemus I|Euthydemus]] the king of the [[Greco-Bactrian|Bactrians]]; and they took possession, not only of [[Patalena]], but also, on the rest of the coast, of what is called the kingdom of Saraostus and Sigerdis. In short, Apollodorus says that Bactriana is the ornament of Ariana as a whole; and, more than that, they extended their empire even as far as the [[Seres]] and the Phryni."'' (Strabo, Geographia, [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?lookup=Strab.+11.11.1 11.11.1])
He is also quoted for his general geographical knowledge of Central Asia:
:''"Accordingly, if the distance from Hyrcania to Artemita in [[Babylonia]] is eight thousand stadia, as is stated by Apollodorus of Artemita, and the distance from there to the mouth of the [[Persian Sea]] another eight thousand, and again eight thousand, or a little less, to the places that lie on the same parallel as the extremities of [[Ethiopia]], there would remain of the above-mentioned breadth of the inhabited world the distance which I have already given,14 from the recess of the Hyrcanian Sea to the mouth of that sea"'' (Strabo, Geographia, [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?lookup=Strab.+11.11.1 11.11.1])
