Nearchus 4th century BC
Macedonian general
Born in Crete, he settled in Amphipolis during the reign of Philip II of Macedon, and became the companion of the young Alexander the Great. In 330BC he was Governor of Lycia, and in 329 he joined Alexander in Bacria with a body of Greek mercenaries, and took part in the Indian campaigns. Having built a fleet on the Hydaspes (Jhelum), Alexander gave Nearchus the command. He left the Indus in 325, and, skirting the coast, reached Susa in 324. His narrative is preserved in the Indica of Arrian.

A wildcard is a special character you can use to replace one or more characters in a word. There are two types of wildcard. The first is a question mark ?, which matches a single character. The second is an asterisk *, which matches zero or more characters. The two kinds of wildcard can be mixed in a single search.
