[1] For 'Caspian Gates' cf. e.g. Diodorus Siculus 2.2.4; Strabo 2.1.28, etc.; Arrian, Anabasis 5.25.5, etc; Barrington Atlas map 92 grid H1 (in present-day Iran); Encyclopedia Iranica at web address 1.
[2] Apparently from an historiographical source; Adler's note cites FGrH 151, an anonymous Alexander-history. For the Caspian Sea see OCD(4) s.v.; Perseus Encyclopedia entry (with references to Herodotus) at web address 2. For 'Hyrcanian Sea' cf. generally upsilon 664.
