In the, "Foundation" subsection of the, "Historical accounts" section, please change, "Justin writes that he fell at the beginning of the battle on the Hydapses" to, "Justin writes that he fell at the beginning of the battle on the Hydaspes (River Jhelum)". I am just asking to correct the spelling and if possible, add the local name. Please also change, "Arrian separates the clauses detailing the location and naming of the cities, so that although the reader knows that one of the two cities was called Nikaia and one named Boukephala, it is unclear which name corresponds to which city." to, "Arrian separates the clauses detailing the location and naming of the cities, so that although the reader knows that one of the two cities was called Nikaia and the other was named Boukephala, it is unclear which name corresponds to which city."- 2406:7400:98:F9C4:D9A1:D1FF:A278:2A92 ( talk) 14:14, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
