page 169 note 1 I am indebted to Dr. Grierson for the information that the second component of this place-name is evidently the Pashto word bahaī, ‘a well with steps leading down into it.’

The exact date of the record, a day in the month Vaiśākha, falls in A.D. 46 or 47 according as the year, commencing with Kārttika, is taken as current or as expired.
