Talk:Sources of Indo-Greek history

Greco-Roman sources
This list is from Tarn, Index II. It is the principal sources he used; this therefore covers India, Bactria, the provincial organization of Seleucid Syria, and Alexandria. Pseudo-Aristeas is cited because Tarn argues it has a common source with the Milinda-panha, and so on.

Those which are mentioned here should be quoted in full, and without interpretation; many of the references here are literally single sentences, or less:

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV
I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:
 * This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
 * There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
 * It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
 * In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 00:10, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
