644 Regal titles on the Bactrian Coins, [July, 



which is far preferable to the clumsy and unsatisfactory vnalakao kqk- 

 kao nialako of my former paper, now rectified by the rejection of *1 as ka. 



The next title in the list is snTHPOS, for which we have rather a dubious 

 word of four letters either *P*lP? dadatasa, or T*1t\£ nandatasa, the for- 

 mer equivalent to '^rf' thebestower of dana, a word comprehending 

 protection as well as charity ; — the latter to «r*^?r *• * of the giver of 

 pleasure.' 



The epithet of next frequency is ANIKHTOT the unconquered, which 

 is translated by ^PTlHiP-9 apavihatasa (Sans. ^nf^cr^j) the unbeaten, 

 or invincible. It is this word principally which leads me to make Y va, 

 and to distinguish it from **1 ti and f+i It, with the latter of which I 

 before confounded it. 



Next in order comes the somewhat similar expression nikh*OPOT; 

 but the correct definition of this epithet is preserved in T^Ail Ja- 

 yadharasa, the bearer of victory. In one instance the dh is written 

 separately T^lAN; in others (like the dh of adhi)it is T^A^,/aya- 

 darasa, but there can be little doubt of the sense ; and this word is a 

 strong confirmation of the value of the letter M, or &ja. 



There is a second epithet of nearly the same signification which is 

 common enough on the Seleucidan coins, but comparatively rare in 

 those of Bactria, NIKATOP02- This epithet was found on the unique 

 coin of Amyntas of which Col. Stacy was unfortunately robbed, and 

 on one or two others. In the Bactrian translation the same word is used 

 in every case as for NIKH*OPOy> namely, y*\^\)ljayadharasa, the pos- 

 sessor of victory, or the victorious. 



There remains but one epithet to be accounted for (for *iAOnATOP02 

 of the Apollodotus unique coin does not seem to be translated) : — it 

 occurs on the coins of Heliocles, Spalurmes, and Archelies; I mean 

 AIKAlOr 'the just' — a rare epithet in any but the Arsacidan line 

 of kings. — This is everywhere rendered by "P'Vf *j> dhamikasa (Sans. 

 "«lf??«IT^j) the exact expression required, and one constantly applied to 

 Indian kings. 



I am wrong in saying that the epithets are here exhausted, for on the 

 unique coin of Agathocleia in Dr. Swiney's possession, there is a singular 

 epithet ©EOTPOnor * heavenly dispositioned,' yet unaccounted for : of 

 this the two or three first letters are lost, and the last two "P*1 tasa may 

 terminate devamatasa or some such simple translation. It is a curious 

 fact that the name of the queen does not appear to be feminine in the 

 Bactrian legend ; and the title mahdrdjasa is also in the masculine. 



There is another expression on a coin of Spalurmes, viz. " king's 

 brother," 2nAATM02 AIKAIOT AAEA*Or TOY BA2IAEX12, the Bactrian
