guishes between the Arii and Ariai: Parthia, he fays, has the Arii to the east, Carmania and the Ariani to the fouth: from which it is conjectured, the Ariani extended farther than the Arii, and comprifed the Gedrofii and the Drangae. Arrian has only Aria and Arii, and is filent about Ariana: but Strabo gives more extenfive bounds to Ariana than to Aria, without particularly defining them; only in general fays, Ariana begins from India, and quotes Eratofthenes; who fays, Arania is bounded by the Indus on the east, on the fouth by the Great Sea, by Paropamifus on the north, and by the mountains, quite to Portae Cafpiae, on the weft by the fame boundaries by which Parthia is feparated from Media; Carmania, from Paraetacene and Perfia: and thus Ariana is extremely extenfive.

ARIA has its limits thus defcribed by Ptolemy; on the north fome parts of Margiana and Bactriana; on the eaft the Paropamiûidae; on the fouth the Drangiana: and Strabo fays, the Arii adjoin to the Paropamifidae on the weft. The name is differently written, with or without a diphthong, Areia, or Aria, A. reii, or Arii, Aria, ae, or Aria, oran; and the gentilitious name, either Arii, or Arieus, Stephanus. ARIA, called Ariapolis, Strabo now Herat, in Chorafan, fet down in an ancient map as fituate on the river Arias, which probably gave name to the country Aria: Arrian calls the river Areios; Pliny, Arius; Ammian, Arias: now Heri, which runs by Alexandria, a town built by Alexander, Pliny; alfo called Alexandria Arion, or Ariorum.
