AROSAPES
AROSAPES (
Plin. Nat. 6.23; Arusaces, Mela, 3.7), a river of Ariana, in the SE. part of Persia; conjectured by Forbiger (
Alt. Geogr. vol. ii. p. 537) to be the same as the modern
Arghasan, one of the tributaries of the
Helmend. From Mela it would seem to have been in the district of Pattalene.
