1851.] Indo- Scythian Princes. 143 



Lord, and described in this Journal (July, 1838, PI. XXVII, fig. 1.) 

 by, of course, our ever-lamented James Prinsep. Heliokles himself 

 however, B. C. 147, adopted the title of just — SiKaio? — as peculiar to 

 himself, and this word, with its translation in Pracrit, obtains on 

 almost all his coins. 



Lysias, B. C. 147, called, himself aviK^ros — the unconquered, — and 

 translated the title on the Pracrit obverse of his coinage. 



Amyntas, B. C. 135, varied the royal attributive to — vt/carwp — being 

 the Doric form of viK-qTiap — conqueror : this word again is the poetic 

 form of viKrjrrjp or viKrjTrjs (v. Liddell and Scott's Lexicon. Oxon. 

 1843): I am careful to show the irregularity of the language for 

 reasons to be given hereafter. 



Agathokleia, of whom one coin alone has been discovered, is the 

 only queen who figures in the Bactrian dynasties. Her epoch is 

 uncertain. She called her coin, piously and ungrammatically, as being 

 — /?ao-iAio-cras OtoTpoiro (y) — of the god-turn queen : had TpoTros been 

 used adjectively, it should have been necessarily in the feminine. (?) 

 The proper word is — 6eoTpe7TTo<; — (Aschyl. Pers. 905) god-sent. She is 

 translated in Pracrit as maharajasa (not ranee) midatasa mikasa- 

 klayasa. 



Antimachus, B. C. 140, boldly records on his tetradrachm his own 

 apotheosis ; — he is fiacnXevs Oeos — god : on his hemi-drachm viKrj(f>opo<s 

 — bringing victory, translated like the vcKarwp of Amyntas Jayadharasa. 



Philoxenes, B. C. 130, has the same title and translation as Lysias. 



Antialkides, B. C. 135, and Archelius, B. C. 125—120, both adopt 

 the latter title of Antimachus. 



Menander, B. C. 126, who is mentioned by Strabo (Wilson in loc.) 

 as having crossed the Hypanis (Sutlej) and reached the Isamis 

 (Jumna) river, a monarch whose extensive dominions lay to the east- 

 ward of Bactria Proper, has as title a-oirrjp — saviour — and on one coin 

 — SiKaios. 



Apollodotus, who is also mentioned in narrative history, B. C. 110, 

 continues the title o-uT-qp ; but in one remarkable coin described and 

 figured in this Journal (August, 1833, PI. XIV. fig. 4. June, 1835, 

 PI. XXVI. fig. 4) adds to it — kou (piXo-n-aropoq — {in the genitive) — 

 and father lover : the Pracrit legend on this coin does not contain the 

 translation of this new affix.
