   • 1922, “India and Irān”, in E. J. Rapson, editor, The Cambridge History of India: Ancient India, Cambridge University Press, pages 86–87:

     But it has been deemed by one high authority to reveal to us a closer connexion of India and Irān than has yet suggested itself: in the Dāsas Hillebrandt sees the Dahae, in the Paṇis the Parnians, and he locates the struggles of Divodāsa against them in Arachosia. […] Similarly he suggests that the Sṛiñjaya people, who were connected like Divodāsa with the Bhāradāja family, should be located in Irān, and he finds in the Sarasvatī, which formed the scene of Divodāsa’s exploits, not the Indian stream but the Irānian Harahvaitī. […] Other references to connexions with Irān have been seen in two names found in the Rigveda. […] But the Rigveda knows a Pṛithī and later texts a Pṛithu, an ancient and probably mythical king, and thus we have in the Vedic speech itself an explanation of Pārthava which does not carry us to Irān. […] Whatever the causes which severed Irān and India, in the earliest period, at least as recorded in the Rigveda, the relations of the two peoples seem not to have been those of direct contact.

[…] Then there was also Abū LuʾLuʾa Fayrūz al-Nihāwandī, an Iranian Christian carpenter, stonemason, and smith, who was taken prisoner during Heraclius’s war with Irān, and then captured in turn from the Romans during the Arab invasion of Syria.
