Aornos is modern day Qunduz, Afghanistan

There's little doubt on this since Qunduz literally has a similar meaning as Aornos and Aornos itself is taken from Bactrian "Warn" which means fortress and was the Bactrian name of Qunduz.

It's highly unlikely that any city in Kashmir or eastern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa would bear a Bactrian name and be inhabited in majority by Iranic people.

It's an historical fact that both Kashmir and historically eastern KPK are Dardic Indians and not Iranics (and it's still the case for Kashmir).

It's unbelievable how "scholars" can show so much ignorance on an easy topic as this one if anyone could update the page to finally put Qunduz as the historical Aornos.

Also Stein's involvement with the Great Game could question his reliability on a scholarly level.
