translation of which at first seemed inexplicable, but by means of another 

 coin I think I have solved the enigma, as will be presently explained. 



Another expression for the ' great king- of kings' is met with in one 

 example only, as far as my information goes ; namely, in the rude square 

 coin of Spalirises, of which four specimens have passed through my 

 hands : — here the expression runs 'P^b'Tlu'PiLhlU maharajasa mahata- 

 kasa (quasi iT^TW^fW) ; but no great stress can be laid on such rude 

 specimens. 



Having thus satisfactorily disposed of the regal titles, we may place 

 once more under review the whole of the Greek names with their Bac- 

 trian transcripts collated from a multitude of specimens.
