Treaty of Indus

It is a treaty between Chandragupta and Seleucus. Ancient Greek historians Justin, Appian, and Strabo described the key points of the Treaty of the Indus between Seleucus and Chandragupta Maurya:: "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."1. Seleucus gave Chandragupta control of the eastern provinces of his empire, including Gandhara, Paropamisadae, and parts of Gedrosia, Arachosia, and Aria up to Herat.2. In return, Chandragupta provided Seleucus with 500 Indian war elephants.3. The treaty included a marriage alliance, likely involving Chandragupta marrying a relative of Seleucus.
