148 Remarks on the Bactro-Pali Taxila Inscription. |No. 2, 
who made use of them must have been of Turki race. This is of 
importance in the case of Hima Kadphises as we have no other di- 
rect proof as to whether he belonged to the Su or Sakas, or to the 
Yuchi, or TLochdri. I will now describe the coins of these three 
kings. 
Ist. Kozola Kadphizes. The coins of this Prince are of three 
kinds, of which those bearing the name of Hermeus in the Greek 
legend are most probably the earliest. This Greek legend is as fol- 
lows BASIAEOS STHPOS SY EPMAIOY, which I look upon as being a 
blundered copy of BASIAEQS, SOTHPOS EPMAIOY by a native artist 
who was ignorant of the Greek characters. This legend will therefore 
refer to king Hermeus himself. The native legend on the reverse 
has the name of Awula Kapsa, with the title of Kushdna Yatugasa, 
or king of the Kushan tribe. This coin I look upon as having been 
struck by Kadphizes during the lifetime of Hermeus, a practice 
which we know to have been customary in these provinces. On 
another coin of the same size and types we read the same native le- 
gend, but with the Greek inscription altered to KOZOYAO KAA®IZOY 
KOPCE A—that is struck in the name of Kadphises alone. The third 
kind of this Prince’s money is a small copper coin, of stiff but neat 
execution, bearing the Greek legend of KOZOAA KAAA®EC XOPAN 
CY ZA@OY, and on the reverse the native legend of Awjula Kaphsasa 
Sacha Dharmapidasa Khushdnasa Yatuvasa. 
The coins of Kara-Kadphises are of the well known Bull and Ca- 
mel types, which are always of rude execution and in bad preserva- 
tion. The Greek legends I can make nothing of, but the native le- 
gends appear to be always the same, although the words are disposed 
in two different ways. The whole of the native legend I have not 
yet succeeded in making out satisfactorily, but I have deciphered the 
beginning and the ending beyond all doubt. 
Maharajasa Rajatirajasa Deva-putrasa —Kara Kapsasa 
* (coin) of the king, the king of the kings, the God descended 
Kara Kadphises.” 'The undeciphered portion of the legend consists 
of three letters, and may possibly be Aushdna. 
The coins of Hima Kadphises are the well known gold and copper 
pieces which bear the same unvarying legends in Greek and Bactro 
Pali characters. On the gold coins the Greek legend is simply 
BACIAEYC OOHMO KAA®ICHC, which on the copper coins is
