History
Megasthenes writes them as Samarabriae - If we cross to the other side of the Indus and follow its course downward we meet the Sambruceni (Samota) along with Bisambritae, Osii (Asii), Antixeni (Antal), and the Taxillae (Taxak) with a famous city (See - Jat clans as described by Megasthenes).
