654 Lassen on the History traced [No. 103. 



M. Raoul- Rochet te assigns to him with certainty a place 

 immediately following Eukratides, in a neighbouring country, 

 which we cannot, however, look for with him to the North of 

 the Caucasus.* On account of the title Nikephoros, he has some 

 analogy with Antimachos. 



There exists another coin of this monarch with the head of 

 the king, with the kausia and the same legend ; the reverse 

 represents Jupiter, seated on a throne, with a sceptre and 

 a winged victory in his right hand. The same native legend. f 

 All these coins are from Cabul or the neighbouring districts. { 



Lysias, Uncovered head of the king, the palm crossing 

 the field as with Antialkides, the bust partly given. Legend, 

 BA2IAEQ2 ANIKHTOY AY2I0Y. Reverse, elephant.§ Le- 

 gend, Mahdrdjo apalihatd lisijo (lisajo.) 



M. R. R. pronounces him with full confidence successor 

 of Antialkides ;|| here likewise follow the titles Aniketos and 

 NikephoroSy one after the other, as above mentioned, with 

 Philoxenos and Antimachos. Coins of Lysias and of Antial- 

 kides are found in Cabul; ^ the elephant alludes to an Indian 

 expedition. The dynasty to which Antialkides and Lysias 

 belonged, seems therefore in fact to have had their site in Ca- 

 bul, and their empire was probably established upon the ruins 

 of one more extensive. 



I here insert a coin, for which I cannot discover a proper 

 place. 



Amyntas, Bust of the king with indistinct head-dress ; le- 

 gend, BA2IAEQE NIKAT0P02 AMYNTOY. Reverse, 

 helmeted Minerva, with shield and lance, extending her right 

 hand. Legend, Maharajo, gajavato amito. From the Punjab. 1[^ 



We now come to a longer series, bearing the title ^^deliverer.^^ 



Menandros. Helmeted head of the king with the upper part 

 of the bust, and the chlamys; legend, BASIAEQS 2QTHP02 

 MENANAPOY. Reverse, Minerva Trpo^axoc. R. R. L No. 8. 

 Legend, Maharajo tdddro Minadho.
