Demetriapolis (Ancient Greek: Δημητριάπολις) or Demetrias (Δημητριάς) was a Greek city in Arachosia, thought to have been founded by the Greco-Bactrian king Demetrius as he invaded areas south of the Hindu Kush. In the 1st century BCE in his "Parthian stations", Isidorus of Charax mentions the rule of the Parthians over Arachosia, an area south of the Hindu Kush and next to today's Afghanistan, and populated by Greek colonies:

  • Demetriapolis (Ancient Greek: Δημητριάπολις) or Demetrias (Δημητριάς) was a Greek city in Arachosia, thought to have been founded by the Greco-Bactrian king Demetrius as he invaded areas south of the Hindu Kush. In the 1st century BCE in his "Parthian stations", Isidorus of Charax mentions the rule of the Parthians over Arachosia, an area south of the Hindu Kush and next to today's Afghanistan, and populated by Greek colonies: "Beyond is Arachosia. And the Parthians call this White India; there are the city of Biyt and the city of Pharsana and the city of Chorochoad and the city of Demetrias; then Alexandropolis, the metropolis of Arachosia; it is Greek, and by it flows the river Arachotus. As far as this place the land is under the rule of the Parthians." "Parthians stations", 1st century BCE Demetrias may also be mentioned in the 2nd century CE inscription of Cave No.17 at the Pandavleni Caves. The inscription mentions the gift of the cave by Indragnidatta the son of the Yavana (i.e. Greek or Indo-Greek) Dharmadeva, a northerner from "Dattamittri". It is thought that the city of "Dattamittri" may be the city of Demetrias in Arachosia, mentioned by Isidore of Charax. "Success! (The gift) of Indragnidatta, son of Dhammadeva, the Yavana, a northerner from Dattamittri. By him, inspired by true religion, this cave has been caused to be excavated in mount Tiranhu, and inside the cave a Chaitya and cisterns. This cave made for the sake of his father and mother has been, in order to honor all buddhas bestowed on the universal Samgha by monks together with his son Dhammarakhita." (en)
  • Demetriapolis ( grec ancien : Δημητριάπολις ) ou Demetrias (Δημητριάς) fut une ville grecque en Arachosie , qui aurait été fondée par le roi gréco-bactrien Demetrius pendant son invasion des zones au sud de l'Hindu Kush. Au Ier siècle avant notre ère dans ses «stations parthes», Isidore de Charax mentionne la domination des Parthes sur l'Arachosie, une région au sud de l'Hindu Kush et à côté de l'Afghanistan actuel, et peuplée de colonies grecques: "Au-delà, c'est l'Arachosie. Et les Parthes l'appellent l'Inde Blanche; il y a la ville de Biyt et la ville de Pharsana et la ville de Chorochoad et la ville de Demetrias; puis Alexandropolis, la métropole d'Arachosie; elle est grecque et à travers elle coule le fleuve Arachotus. En ce qui concerne cet endroit, il est sous la domination des Parthes. " "Stations Parthes", au Ier siècle avant notre ère Demetrias peut également être mentionnée dans l'inscription du IIe siècle de notre ère de la grotte n ° 17 aux grottes de Pandavleni . L'inscription mentionne le don de la grotte par Indragnidatta, fils du Yavana (c.-à-d. Grec ou indo-grec ) Dharmadeva, un habitant du nord de "Dattamittri". On pense que la ville de "Dattamittri" pourrait être la ville de Demetrias en Arachosie, mentionnée par Isidore de Charax. "Succès! (Le don) d'Indragnidatta, fils de Dhammadeva, le Yavana, un habitant du Nord de Dattamittri. Par lui, inspiré par la vraie religion, cette grotte a été creusée dans le mont Tiranhu, et à l'intérieur de la grotte ont été établies un Chaitya et des citernes. Cette grotte fut faite pour le bien de son père et de sa mère et a été, afin d'honorer tous les bouddhas ,accordés au Samgha universel par des moines avec son fils Dhammarakhita. " (fr)
