 These coins evidently refer to the Nyssean princes, they were procured at Jelala-

 were originally coated over with silver.

Class Indo-Scythic — Series No. 1. 

 Fig. 1, Obverse. Figure of prince sacrificing on altar. Legend Greek, but partially 

 preserved, portion visible, A€VC BA IAEbJN KA 

 Reverse. Female figure standing to the right : before her, a four-pronged 

 symbol. Legend Greek, NANAIA. 

 This is one of seven copper coins of the same size and type in my possession, the legend 

 is unquestionably from a comparison of the specimens BACIAEVC BACIAEUJN KA- 

 NHPKOT or " The King of Kings Kanerkos." These coins have attracted much 

 attention. I have taken the liberty of making my remarks generally on tbem in the 

 former part of the memoir. With reference to the legend Nanaja, I may observe, 

 that, there are numerous shrines in these parts of Asia, called by the Muhammedans, 

 the Ze&rats of Bib 4 Nanni, or, " the Lady Nannee." Hindus also resort to them, 

 and each claim the shrine or Zearat as peculiarly his own. The most celebrated of 

 these is at Hingohl, as called by the natives, (the Hinglatz I believe of our maps,) on 

 the coast of Lus, in Belochistan, near the junction of the Pur alii river with the sea. 

 Another famous shrine of Bibi Nanni is on the river Bolan, in the pass leading from 

 the Dusht Bedoulet to Kyrta — two or three are in the vicinity of Kabul. I am not 

 sure whether the Hindus do not refer these shrines to their deity ParbatL If 

 Nanaia should have been the distinctive epithet applied to any of the Greek female 

 deities or nymphs, she will be identified with the Hindu deity ParbatI, or the 

 one whose shrine is visited at Hingohl, &c, and the Muhammedans in NannI, may 

 have preserved the Greek name Nanaia.

This is one from fourteen copper coins in my possession of the same type, the 



legend proves them of the same princes as the former coins considered. The
