20 Memoir on the Ancient Coins of Beghrdm. [Jan. 



ones, or in all seventeen names : of these I am willing to transfer 

 Antimachus to the regular Bactrian dynasty, Herm^eus I., II., to the 

 dynasty of Apollodotus and Menander, and Adelphortes, Basilis, 

 and Azo, to a dynasty which I hope to prove, one day, to have existed 

 distinctly at Massaga. 



Class Grecian — Series 3. Coins of Agathocles, Pantaleon, $c. 

 This year yielded me the same proportion of the coins of these princes, 

 and I suspect we have found two other coins, which, with reference to 

 the characters, may be classed with them, viz. Nos. 30 and 32 of the 

 Greek coins now enumerated: if this be correct, we shall have five princes 

 of this series. 



Class Grecian — Series 4. Coins of the Nyscean Kings. 

 Of these kings we have the topes or cenotaphs at Jeldldbdd : there 

 appear to have been two great families; that of Hermjeus and his descen- 

 dants, whose coins are distinguished by the figure of Hercules, with his 

 club on the reverse, and those of the princes, whose coins have a 

 horseman on the obverse, and the figure of Ceres on the reverse : to 

 these must unquestionably be added the great king whose coins bear 

 the legend BA2IAEVC BA2IAEU/N 2nrHP MErAC, and I make no doubt 

 Unadpherros : the latter family is the more ancient; and if our views 

 are right, came originally from Massaga. There are thirteen topes cer- 

 tainly, perhaps fourteen, at Jeldldbdd, which may safely be referred to 

 these princes ; five or six to the family of Herm^eus, and the remainder 

 to that of the others ; if three of these be not the topes of saints, rather 

 than of kings : this I infer from their position on eminences, and the 

 absence of coins with the relics found in them. 



Note. — Of the prince whose coinage is delineated as fig. 37 in the 

 last Memoir, I have procured many other coins : but none enabling 

 me to identify his name : these coins, like the former, all from Beghrdm. 

 Class Indo-Scythic — Series I and 2. Coins of Kanerkos amrfKADPHis. 

 I have discovered that the topes of Kdbul refer to the families of these 

 princes, as do a number of topes near Chahdrbdg, or Jeldldbdd ; but 

 these latter I very much suspect to be duplicates of the former. This 

 year has given us a number of golden medals of these princes, which 

 are noted below. 



I have not been yet enabled to locate the capital of the princes 

 whose coins form the other series of this class.
