CANASIS
CANASIS (
Κανάσις, Arrian,
Ind. 29), a small port on the shore of Gedrosia to which the fleet of Nearchus came. Vincent identifies it with a small place called
Tiz. The country seems to have been then, as now, nearly deserted, and exposed to much suffering from drought. (Vincent,
Voyage of Nearchus, vol. i. p. 267.)
