'Indica' of Megasthenes was preserved in later Greek accounts. Which one of the following Greek travellers' account is not associated with 'Indica' ?
Answer: A
The Greek writer whose account is not associated with the preserved Indica of Megasthenes is Ktesias. Ktesias, a Greek physician at the Persian court, wrote his own earlier Indica from hearsay, before Megasthenes, so he is not one of the later writers who preserved the work of Megasthenes. The work of Megasthenes survives only in fragments quoted by later writers such as Strabo, Arrian and Pliny. The answer is Ktesius.
