Alexandria on the Indus (Шаблон:Lang-el, likely modern Uch, Pakistan) was a city founded by Alexander the Great at the junction of the Indus and the Acesines river.[1][2] Arrian tells that colonists, mainly Thracian veterans and natives, were settled there.[3][4]
The satrap of the west bank of the Indus, Philip, son of Machatas, was put in charge of building the city:
- He (Alexander) ordered him (Philip) to found a city there, just at the meeting of the two rivers, as he expected it would be great and famous in the world, and dockyards to be built.[5]
Today, the remains of the Greek town are thought to be inside the citadel mound, although a shift in the river has caused significant damage to the mound. A UNESCO listing applies to the site.
