1840.] from Bactrian and Indo-Scythian coins, 647 



ing on the hip^ in the left a spear, indistinct head dress, flames 

 behind the shoulders. Legend according to Mr. Prinsep^s con- 

 jecture : (A)PAHePOY MAKAP(02). The Greek letters 

 terminate in points ; upon No. 13 there is perhaps the name 

 of another god. A second variety, has the anterior half of a 

 horse. They come from Cabul and western India ; but like- 

 wise through Bokhara to Russia. 



The horse refers to Bactria, as do the purely Greek characters 

 and the god of fire, with whom the names of gods on the 

 Kanerki coins are connected. 



Kodes is perhaps the very same king, who went southwards 

 over the Caucasus, and founded an empire on the banks of the 

 Indus and of the Cabul, for the Kanerkis. 



Kanerki coins. I shall not repeat the remarks above made on 

 the legends, the words PAO NANO PAO and KOPANO, and 

 the names of gods. Kanerki is represented in a standing posi- 

 tion, with a long Usbek coat, pointed Tartar cap, the right 

 hand leaning on a spear (and a bow over the back, T. A. V. 

 XXXVI b. 9.) with the left making an offering over an altar. 

 The figures of gods on the reverse are already described. In the 

 note I shall mention the coin,* some from the topes in Mani- 

 kyala, Jellalabad, and from Cabul and the Punjab, from Benares, 

 and likewise from the Ganges. f 



Ooerki. Bust of the king, adorned with a tiara, holding with 

 the hand a plant which he contemplates. J The same places 

 of discovery. No coins having Greek words, or the god of 

 the sun. 



A man mounted on an elephant; his name illegible, only 

 PAO NANO PAO-KOPANO.^
