These are the nations along the course of the river Hypanis, west of the Borysthenes.
The Hypanis, rising here, during the distance of five days' navigation is a shallow stream, and the water sweet and pure; thence, however, to the sea, which is a distance of four days, it is exceedingly bitter.
The Tyras and the Hypanis approach each other in the country of the Alazonians, but afterwards separate, and leave a wide space between their streams.

 History Indo-greek Kingdom - History Of Ancient, Medieval And Modern India.
According to Strabo, Greek advances temporarily went as far as the Sunga capital Pataliputra (today Patna) in eastern India:
The 1st century BCE Greek historian Apollodorus, quoted by Strabo, affirms that the Bactrian Greeks, led by Demetrius I and Menander, conquered India and occupied a larger territory than the Macedonians under Alexander the Great, going beyond the Hypanis towards the Himalayas.
The Roman historian Justin also mentioned the Indo-Greek conquests, describing Demetrius as "King of the Indians" ("Regis Indorum"), and explaining that after vanquishing him Eucratides in turn "put India under his rule" ("Indiam in potestatem redegit").

  Scythia - LoveToKnow Watches
In accordance with this we can give the relative positions of the various tribes, and an excursus on the rivers (47-57) lets us define their actual seats.
In western Scythia, starting from Olbia and going northwards, we have Callippidae on the lower Hypanis (Bug), Alazones where the Tyras (Dniester) and Hypanis come near each other in their middle courses, and Aroteres (" Ploughmen ") above them.
These tribes raised wheat, presumably in the river valleys, and sold it for export; in the eastern half from west to east were Georgi (perhaps the same as Aroteres) between the Ingul and the Borysthenes (Dnieper), nomad Scyths and Royal Scyths between the Borysthenes and the Tanais (Don).

The name Euploea ochsenheimeri Moore is invalid as it is a junior primary homonym of the name Euploea ochsenheimeri Lucas, 1853 (Rev. Mag.
The species which is the type-species of the present genus was without a species-group name which was both a nomenclatorially available name and also a name objectively applicable to it until in 1910 Fruhstorfer published the name hypanis as a replacement for the invalid name ochsenheimeri Moore.
Fruhstorfer considered on taxonomic grounds that this taxon should be treated as a subspecies of the taxon represented by the older-established nominal species Crastia malayica Butler, 1878 (J. linn.

Those other writers, however, say that merely the tribes between the Hydaspes and the Hypanis were nine in number, and that they had only five thousand cities, no one of which was smaller than the Meropian Cos, and that Alexander subdued the whole of this country and gave it over to Porus.
Now the country between the Hypanis and the Hydaspes is said to contain nine tribes, and also cities to the number of five thousand-cities no smaller than Cos Meropis, though the number stated seems to be excessive.
Writers are agreed that the country as a whole on the far side of the Hypanis best; but they do not describe it accurately, and because of their ignorance and of its remoteness magnify all things or make them more marvellous.

 Herodotus - The Histories - Page 641
There is a tract called Exampaeus between the Borysthenes and the Hypanis.
I made some mention of it in a former place, where I spoke of the bitter stream which rising there flows into the Hypanis, and renders the water of that river undrinkable.
Here then stands a brazen bowl, six times as big as that at the entrance of the Euxine, which Pausanias, the son of Cleombrotus, set up.

 Gerrhos
Within the geodetic square of Scythia there were located also the mouth of the Tyras or Dniester and the confluence of the Hypanis or Bug with the Boristhenes or Dnieper.
Herodotus lets the Dniester and the Bug originate from large lakes which seem to be the Pripet Marshes.
Herodotus places the source of the Bug 9 days or 4½° to the north of the base, that is, at 49°42’N, which is correct, but is almost a full degree south of the Pripet Marshes.

 Herodotus' Inquiries, Book 4: installment 22
Indeed one of the rivers of the Scythians is the Ister and after that is theTyres, which sets off from the north wind and begins flowing from the large lake that borders the Scythian and the Neurian land, and by its mouth have settled down the Greeks, who are called Tyresians.
Then a third, the Hypanis river, sets off from the Scythian land and flows from the large lake, around which graze wild white horses, and that lake is correctly called the mother of the Hypanis.
Near the sea indeed the Borysthenes in its flowing comes to be and the Hypanis is mixed with it by discharging into the same marsh.

The land army of Alexander had been on the east only as far as the Hypanis, which is the last of those rivers that fall into the Indus: thus the first trade which the Greeks carried on to the Indies was confined to a very small part of the country.
Afterwards the fleet of Alexander,† descending the Indus, arrived at Susa in ten months, having sailed three months on the Indus, and seven on the Indian sea; at last, the passage from the coast of Malabar to the Red sea was made in forty days.
Strabo,§ who accounts for their ignorance of the countries between the Hypanis and the Ganges, says, there were very few of those who sailed from Egypt to the Indies, that ever proceeded so far as the Ganges.

This they have found out, seeing that their land is suitable to it and at the same time the rivers are their allies: for first this land is plain land and is grassy and well watered, and then there are rivers flowing through it not much less in number than the channels in Egypt.
The Ister, which is the greatest of all the rivers which we know, flows always with equal volume in summer and winter alike.
