The harbour is in mordern day Karachi Pakistan it is also known as Barbarikon. Alexander's admiral Nearchos set up a naval base there and also built fortification there. The book Alexander's Campaigns in Sind and Baluchistan and the Siege of the Brahmin Town of Harmatelia. (Orientalia Lovaniensia Analecta) by P Eggermont should have a map in it of the ancient harbour. I do not own the book though. Does anyone have this book and could check for me?
