Two Greek texts in J. W. McCrindle’s translation. The first is the Periplus of the Erythræan Sea, a merchant’s guide to ports from Egypt to India that lists the goods traded at each, from silk and pepper to ivory, and the seasons for sailing. The second is Arrian’s account of Nearchus’s voyage from the Indus to the Persian Gulf.
