Mention by Pliny

Pliny mentions 'The Indus.'....Below these deserts are the Dari and the Surve, and then deserts again for one hundred and eighty-seven miles, sands in general encircling these spots just as islands are surrounded by the sea. Below these deserts, again, are the Maltecoræ, the Singæ, the Marohæ, the Rarungæ, and the Morontes. These last peoples, who possess the mountains throughout the whole range of country as far as the shores of the ocean, are free, and independent of all kings, and hold numerous cities upon the declivities of the mountains.

Jat clans mentioned by Megasthenes

Megasthenes also described India's caste system and a number of clans out of these some have been identified with Jat clans by the Jat historians. Megasthenes has mentioned a large number of Jat clans. It seems that the Greeks added 'i' to names which had an 'i' ending. Identified probable Jat clans have been provided with active link within brackets. (See Jat clans mentioned by Megasthenes)

जाट इतिहास

ठाकुर देशराज ने लिखा है.... कोरी, मरोही, मोरुनी, ररुंगी इन्हें प्लिनी ने रेगिस्तानों के नीचे उन पहाड़ों पर निवास करते बताया है, जो अछिन्न-श्रेणी में समुद्र के कूल के समतल चले गये हैं। इनके लिए कहा गया है कि ये बिल्कुल स्वतन्त्र हैं और इनके कोई राजा नहीं। पर्वत चोटियों पर इनके कई नगर थे। इन्हें क्रमशः कोरी, मोर्य, मोर, रंगी समझना चाहिए। आजकल यह युक्त-प्रदेश और राजपूताने में पाये जाते हैं। मौर्यों का तो साहसीराय के समय तक सिन्ध और राजपूताने में राज रहा था। मौर्य्यों में से कुछ लोग राजपूत श्रेणी में भी चले गए हैं। कोरी लोग आगरा जिले के जाटों में पाये जाते हैं। मोर और रंगी नितान्त थोड़ी संख्या में हैं। नरेई, जो कि नेहरा के नाम से प्रसिद्ध हैं, कैपटेलिया नाम से घिरी हुई जगह में उनका स्थान बताया गया है।
