This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature.
In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards:

Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions.
2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work.

Arrian, born around 86 AD in Nicomedia (modern-day Turkey), was a Greek historian, philosopher, and statesman. He came from a wealthy family with Roman citizenship, which helped him rise in the Roman administration. As a young man, he studied under the Stoic philosopher Epictetus and later recorded his teachings in the Discourses and Enchiridion.His political and military career thrived under Emperor Hadrian, who appointed him to key positions. He served as consul around 130 AD and later became governor of Cappadocia. During his governorship, he successfully defended the region against invading Alans.Arrian is best known for Anabasis of Alexander, one of the most reliable accounts of Alexander the Great's campaigns. He also wrote Indica, a work describing India and Nearchus's Persian Gulf voyage. His writings remain vital to our understanding of ancient history and military strategy.
