T h e Sind, or the Seindhoo o f the Sanfcrit, was called by the
antients, Indus, a name retained by the moderns. It rifes from ten
ftreams fpringing remote from each other, out o f the Perjian and
!Tartarian mountains, one of which originates in Cajhmere. The
rivers o f the Panjab, and thofe which rife from the weft above
Candahar and Cabul, are the great contributory ftreams, but the
parent one ieems to be that which flows out o f Ca/hgar, in
Lat. 37010' N. The name Sind is native, and o f great antiquity,
and mentioned by Pliny and Arrian-vs the Indian appellative;
