Ichthyophagoi
Ichthyophagoi (Fish eaters in Greek) were the inhabitants of Gwadar and Pasni districts in MakrÄn, Balochistan, Pakistan. During the homeward march of Alexander the Great, his admiral Nearchus led a fleet in Arabian Sea along the MakrÄn coast and recorded that the area was dry and mountainous, inhabited by the Ichthyophagoi or Fish-Eaters - a Greek rendering of the ancient Persian Mahi khoran, which has become the modern word Makran .
