Choaspes River (Afghanistan)


The Choaspes is a river that rises in the ancient Paropamise range, eventually falling into the Indus river near its confluence with the Cophes river. Strabo's Geography, Book XV, Chapter 1, § 26 incorrectly states that the Choaspes empties directly into the Cophes. The river should not be confused with the river of the same name which flows into the Tigris.
