 The ancient Arachosia and the Pactyan people during 500 BC. |
Arachosia is the Hellenized name of an ancient satrapy in the eastern part of the Achaemenid, Seleucid and Parthian empires. Arachosia was centred around Arghandab valley in modern-day southern Afghanistan, and extended east to as far as the Indus River in modern-day Pakistan. The main river of Arachosia was called Arachōtós, now known as the Arghandab River, a tributary of the Helmand River. The Greek term "Arachosia" corresponds to the Aryan land of Harauti which was around modern-day Helmand. The Arachosian capital or metropolis was called Alexandria and laid in what is today Kandahar in Afghanistan.
