Indica (Greek: Ἰνδικά Indika) is a book by the classical Greek physician Ctesias purporting to describe the Indian subcontinent. Written in the fifth century BC, it is the first known Greek reference to that distant land. Ctesias was the court physician to king Artaxerxes II of Persia, and the book is not based on his own experiences, but on stories brought to Persia by traders, along the Silk Road from Serica, a land north of China and India where domesticated silk originated.

- Gli Indica (in greco: Ἰνδικά, Indikà) sono un'opera letteraria dello storico e medico greco Ctesia di Cnido. Scritto nel V secolo a.C, il libro è il primo riferimento della letteratura greca all'India, la cui descrizione è l'argomento dell'opera. Durante la redazione, Ctesia è medico di corte presso re Artaserse II di Persia. Nel corso della sua permanenza in Persia ha modo di riportare nel suo libro i racconti dei mercanti che viaggiavano lungo la via della seta, senza tuttavia mai fare esperienza diretta di quanto scrive. Questi commercianti provenivano da Seri, terra situata a nord della Cina e dell'India dove ha avuto origine la seta domestica. (it)
- Індіка (грец. Ἰνδικά Indika) — книга грецького лікаря Ктесія, що мала на меті описати Індію. Написана в V ст. н.е., книга є пршою відомою грецькою згадкою цих далеких країв. Ктесій був придворним лікарем у царя Артаксеркса II, тому книга не побудована на його власному досвіді. Він написав цю книгу опираючись на розповіді перських купців про країни, де проходив великий шовковий шлях. (uk)
