Zjistil, ze monzunove vetry mezi jizni Arabii a vychodni Afrikou a Indii vanou s neuveritelnou pravidelnosti, a daji se tudiz s uspechem vyuzit k rychle a prime plavbe napric Indickym oceanem. Tento objev mel prevratne dusledky pro obchodni, politicke a kulturni styky mezi rimskym imperiem a jizni Indii.
