Antiochus acknowledged the submission of [[Sophagasenus]], who, like Euthydemus, replenished his troops and gave Antiochus a contingent of war elephants and also a large indemnity, that Antiochus did not stay to collect in person; he left [[Androsthenes of Cyzicus]] behind in charge of collecting the pledged wealth. Antiochus left to head for [[Mesopotamia]], taking a route through Arachosia and Drangiana (modern Seistān) to Carmania. We do not know who the ruler of Arachosia was at the time of Antiochus' passage.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rapson |first=Edward James |url=https://books.google.co.in/books?id=gYg8AAAAIAAJ&pg=PR18&dq=invasion+of+india+by+antiochus+iii&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&source=gb_mobile_search&ovdme=1&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi3hYPFrK-NAxXKRmcHHUZnLdkQ6AF6BAgGEAM#v=onepage&q=invasion%20of%20india%20by%20antiochus%20iii&f=false |title=The Cambridge History of India |last2=Haig |first2=Sir Wolseley |last3=Burn |first3=Sir Richard |last4=Dodwell |first4=Henry |last5=Wheeler |first5=Sir Robert Eric Mortimer |date=1968 |publisher=CUP Archive |pages=443 |language=en}}</ref> | Antiochus acknowledged the submission of [[Sophagasenus]], who, like Euthydemus, replenished his troops and gave Antiochus a contingent of war elephants and also a large indemnity, that Antiochus did not stay to collect in person; he left [[Androsthenes of Cyzicus]] behind in charge of collecting the pledged wealth.
