Translation of some uncertain Greek legends on coins of the Indo~ 

 Scythian princes of Cabul, By H. Torrens, Esq. B. A., V. P, 9 

 and late Secretary, Asiatic Society of Bengal. 

 The ardour with which the study of the numismatic treasures of 

 Afghanistan was pursued a few years back by no few members of our 

 Society, was easily accounted for by the extreme historical interest 

 attaching to them. The number of the Greek Bactrian Kings, the 

 evidence of whose existence and regal power was attested by any thing 

 beyond the meagre mention of history, was up to 1824, eight; Bayer hav- 

 ing first published two coins of Eucratides and Theodotus in 1738, with 

 his Historia Regni Gr<zcorum Bactriani at St. Petersburg, and Colonel 

 Tod, having added but twenty-six years ago with his paper in the 

 1st Vol. Trans. Royal Asiatic Society, the coins of Apollodotus and 

 Menander to those of Euthydemus, Heliocles, Antimachus Theos, and 

 Demetrius, which were all that had been discovered in Bactrian numis- 

 matology during the course of near a century. The progress into 

 Afghanistan of the late Sir Alexander Burnes, the discoveries of 

 Messrs. Court, Ventura, and other French Officers in Runjeet Singh's 

 Service, and the investigations carried on near Cabul by Mr. Masson, 

 and reported in this journal, opened a wide new field, and by succes- 

 sive rapidly attained discoveries we became acquainted, not only with 

 all the Greek Bactrian Kings, but with the names and nations of their
