Quintus Curtius Rufus
Indian kings Porus and Phegeles (Bhagala) are said to have informed Alexander III of Macedon of the unpopularity of Agrammes among his subjects. According to the Roman historian Quintus Curtius Rufus, his army had as 200,000 infantry, 20,000 cavalry, 2,000 four-horsed chariots and 3,000 elephants. The Greek accounts describe Agrammes as the ruler of the Gangaridai (the Ganges valley) and the Prasii (probably a transcription of the Sanskrit word "prachya"s, literally "easterners"). When faced with the prospect of facing the powerful army of Nanda, Alexander's soldiers mutinied, forcing him to retreat from India.
