The same obverse, with the reverse of a victory with crown 

 and palm (only described). 



M. Raoul-Rochette takes him for a king, who reigned in 

 the neighbourhood of the Scythians, and valiantly fought against 

 them on horseback. The Cabuhan legend prevents us from 

 acceding to this. Philoxenos wears a kausia, as Eukratides 

 and Antimachos do, and as a horseman, moreover, is analagous 

 with them. The bull with the hump is correctly interpreted as 

 referring to a particular country, but to what country, will be evi- 

 dent from the coins of Azes. In Beghram no coins of Philoxe- 

 nos have been discovered by Mr. Masson.

I have given him this place, because the epithet ^^ victorious^^ 

 puts him into comparison with Antimachos ; Antialkides, how- 

 ever, bears the same epithet, and has besides, the Jupiter.

 a palm, crossing the field. Legend, BASI AEQS NIKHa)OPOY
