370 Lassen on the History traced [No. 100. 



as Mr. Prinsep conjectures with the utmost probability, is to 

 be understood as awrripos, it proves, that the whole literary 

 heritage of the Greek era had been completely transferred, 

 when these coins were stamped, to the hands of barbarians. 

 We likewise cannot explain 2Y by the instrumentality of the 

 Greek language. 



The reverse presents the following : —

v. „ io v;i*¥</xrr>>y*yyy:Ki* 



With regard to the last word, the second symbol is nothing 

 but a disfigured h ; the v too is quite distinct, the non-existent 

 e is probably exhibited by the coin iv. PI. xxiv No. 13 as Z 

 before u. I therefore read Uhavima, and look for this word 

 likewise upon the coins of Kadphises*. 



At the commencement there are again two symbols, but they 

 differ, as well at this place as upon the foregoing legends, too 

 much one from each other, so as to allow us to do any thing with 

 them. Then follows again Kagola the word following would be 

 read Kavd, according to the last copy, and it bears therefore the 

 appearance of the nominative, but Uhavima not having got this 

 termination, it becomes doubtful, whether we have to admit the 

 flexion, which we took at other places for a regular termination. 

 As Kagola and Uhavima evidently are no Indian words, we must 

 consequently no longer expect the same termination. With 

 regard to Kavo we might be reminded of the word in Zend for 

 king, viz. Kavd, Kavdem ;f but for the present it would be a 



* Mr. Prinsep has thus represented the legend iv. p. 347. — 



His division is certainly false. I had his own representations copied, and 

 we shall look in vain for {5 on the end of Kagola upon the coins. 

 The h in Uhavima has the same form upon the coin below, p. 112. 



Mr. Jas. Prinsep's last reading of this word is given in page 646 Vol. vn, 

 and is as follows— Th^ux^ f», Varahima Kadphisasa.— H. T. P.
