			=== 1693. A geographical dictionary representing the present and ancient names by Edmund Bohun. ===
			<blockquote>Indus, one of the greatest, first, and best known Rivers of the East-Indies; called by the Natives Sinde. It springeth out of the highest part of Imaus, (by some called Taurus,) in the Kingdom of Cassimer, in the Empire of the Great Mogul, towards the Confines of the Asian Tartary: and turning Southward, watering many Provinces or Kingdoms, and taking in the Rivers of Behat, Nilab, Ravée, Coule, and many others, it at last falls into the Arabian or Indian Ocean, by four great Mouths, in the Kingdom of Tatta, between the Kingdoms of Guzarat and Persia. The Name of that Mountain, out of which it springeth, is called Peropasin. It receives between its Head and its Fall one and twenty Rivers. It had of old seven Mouths; three of which are now stopped.</blockquote>

	<blockquote>Indus, a famous River, from which the [[India\|Indians]] have their Names. Now they call it variously, as Sinda, Hynd, Indo, Diul, Indel, and Cacreede, according to the several Countries it Waters. It Rises from the Mount Paropamisus, part of Mount Caucasus, which, some call, Naugracut, and takes in 19 Rivers, the most considerable of which, are Hydaspes and Hypasis, where Alexander the Great limited his Conquests, Send, Behat, Nilab, Ravea, Caoul, &c. It throws its self into the Indian Sea at Five Mouths, Two being stopped up. Authors speak variously of it, and especially Pliny, upon the Conquests of Alexander the Great.</blockquote>		<blockquote>Indus, a famous River, from which the [[India\|Indians]] have their Names.
