The king went on with his advances towards the river Hyphasis, where Sophipus and Phygeas made a peace treaty with him. When the troops arrived at Hyphasis, they heard that the huge desert was beyond the river and after that there was Ganges, and beyond that there were the tribes of Tambrasi and Candorides, who had a great military force. Despite the information, Alexander the Great was determined to pursue his course to that direction.
