From Clement of Alexandria's history of philosophy:
"Some, too, of the Indians obey the precepts of Buddha; [1973] whom, on
account of his extraordinary sanctity, they have raised to divine
honours."
"Very clearly the author Megasthenes,
the contemporary of Seleucus Nicanor, writes as follows in the third of
his books, On Indian Affairs: "All that was said about nature by the
ancients is said also by those who philosophise beyond Greece: some
things by the Brahmins among the Indians, and others by those called
Jews in Syria."
