Cleophis
Cleophis (Sanskrit: Kripa)[1] merupakan seorang tokoh kunci di dalam perang di antara orang-orang Aśvaka dan Aleksander Agung. Cleophis adalah ibunda Asakanus, pemimpin perang Asakani pada saat invasi Aleksander pada tahun 326 SM. Setelah kematian putranya di dalam pertempuran, Cleophis mengambil alih komando dan menegosiasikan sebuah penyelesaian yang memungkinkannya mempertahankan statusnya. Catatan selanjutnya menyatakan bahwa Cleophis memiliki seorang putra oleh Aleksander, sebuah gagasan yang dibuang oleh para sejarahwan.[2]

Asakani (disebut Aśvaka di dalam Sanskerta, dari kata Ashva, yang berarti "kuda") adalah orang-orang bebas yang tinggal di bagian lembah-lembah Swat dan Buner di Pakistan modern. Orang-orang dataran tinggi ini adalah pemberontak, klan independen yang menentang penaklukan.[12] Keturunan mereka bertahan hidup hari ini dan sekarang dikenal sebagai etnis Afghan atau Pashtun.[3]
