Treaty of Indus was the treaty that marked the end of Seleucid-Mauryan war.The result of the treaty led Seleucus I Nicator ceding several territories of Seleucid Empire to Chandragupta Maurya of Mauryan Empire.He in exchange also received some 500 war elephants from Mauryas.[1]
- ^ Kosmin 2014, p. 33: "The ancient historians Justin, Appian, and Strabo preserve the three main terms of what I will call the Treaty of the Indus:
(i) Seleucus transferred to Chandragupta's kingdom the easternmost satrapies of his empire, certainly Gandhara, Parapamisadae, and the eastern parts of Gedrosia, and possibly also Arachosia and Aria as far as Herat.
(ii) Chandragupta gave Seleucus 500 Indian war elephants.
(iii) The two kings were joined by some kind of marriage alliance (ἐπιγαμία οι κῆδος); most likely Chandragupta wed a female relative of Seleucus."
