Thank you for those links.  Most interesting.  I have read about the Ptolemaic ports for trade with India but had never asked myself the obvious question about Seleucid trade with India.

Mind you, you could have read about it in Slingshot back in 2020/21

I could if I had joined the SoA back then but to my eternal shame I did not join until 2022

This is why it is essential to download the latest Slingshot back issues compendium from the Society website.
