DARADRAE
DARADRAE (
Δαράδραι,
Ptol. 7.1.42), a mountain tribe who lived in the upper Indus. Forbiger conjectures that they are the same people whom Strabo (
xv. p.706) calls Derdae, and Pliny Dardae (6.19), and perhaps as the Dadicae of Herodotus (
3.91,
7.66).
It is possible, however, that these latter people lived still further to the N., perhaps in Sogdiana, though their association with the Gandarii (Sanscrit Gandháras) points to a more southern locality.
