136 Second Notice of some new Bactrian Coins. [No. 122. 



Captain Hay, but now in the possession of Lieut. Combe. There is also 

 a duplicate in Dr. Chapman's cabinet, which I have not yet seen. 



Obv. Apollo standing naked as on the round copper coins of Apollo- 

 dotus. Greek legend on three sides, BA2IAEQ2 aQTUpog &ON- 

 YSIov ; " (Coin) of the king, the Saviour Dionysius." 



Rev. A tripod. Ariano-Pali legend imperfect, * * * * sa Dianisayasa. 

 I am by no means confident of the correctness of the Pali version, 

 for the coin was in a very imperfect state. Dr. Chapman's coin 

 is, I believe, in much better preservation ; and I hope hereafter to lay 

 before the public a sketch and description of his duplicate. 



Nicias. A square Copper Piece of middle size, in the possession of 

 Lieut. Combe. 



Obv. Bust of the king diademed and beardless to the . Grecian 

 legend on three sides, BA2IAEQ2 2QTHP02 NIKIOu -(Coin)

Rev. A horseman to the right, as on the silver coins of Antimachus. 

 Ariano-Pali legend on three sides, Maharajasa tddatasa (Ni) kiasa :

Calliope. A round silver Drachma. Two specimens, one in the 

 possession of Lieut. Hasell ; the other in my own cabinet. 



Obv. Two heads of the King and Queen to the right. Grecian legend, 

 BA2IAEQ2 2QTHP02 EPMAIOY KAI KAAAIOI1H2 

 " (Coin) of the King, the Saviour Hermseus, and of Calliope." 



Rev. A horseman to the right as on the silver coins of Antimachus. 

 In the field below a Grecian monogram forming NI^ANAA Niphanda, 

 the town where the coin was minted. Ariano-Pali legend, Maharajasa 

 tddatasa Hermayasa Kaliyapaya. " (Coin 1 ) of the great King, the Saviour 

 Hermseus (and) of Kaliyapa." 



This is the third Grseco-Bactrian Queen, with whom the coins have 

 made us acquainted. The only point particularly deserving notice, is 

 the feminine termination of the Pali Kaliyapaya ; which proves that the 

 Pali was subject to the same inflections as the Sanskrit. 



I would have added descriptions of a Tetradrachm and of two Drachmas 

 of Diodotus ; but a notice of a gold Didrachma of this Prince has already 

 appeared in the Numismatic Journal of London I intended also to 

 have mentioned the numerous new types of princes already known, 

 which have been sent to me by several kind friends; but as I am engag-
