Ancient Greek name of Hydraotis
[edit]According to the enwiki page History of the Punjab, the Ravi river was called Hydraotis by the greeks in the time of Alexander the Great. The name also appears in the four maps of the phases of Alexander's Mallian Campaign, plus (misspelled?) as Hydroatis in the file https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:AlexanderConquestsInIndia.jpg (used in several enwiki articles) depicted as flowing into the Chenab river (Acesines).
