different from, the B coin of the Buddha type, of Kadaphes recently 
described by me. 1 
That coin had the obverse device of fiva and the bull. The coin 
now published has a figure standing to r., and no bull. The fragment¬ 
ary Greek legend Xo induces me to ascribe the coin to Kadaphes, who 
transliterated Ithusanasa by XoPANXY. I have already intimated that 
Kadaphes and Kadphises I. may prove to be the same person. I regret 
that I am unable to offer any interpretation of the imperfect Kharosthi 
legend.

VII. Huviska. 
Brass, or very pale bronze. Diameter ’65. Weight 58 grs. Collected in 
Hazara District. [Rawlins]. 
Obv. King, seated on throne, looking r. 
Three-pronged mon. to 1. The plethoric figure of the king recalls the coins 
of Kadphises II. (B. M. Catal ., PL XXY, 6, 7). 
Greek legend on 1 ., 0(?)00; on r., ’OK(?)AH(?b 
The coin has been worn as an ornament, and a hole above the king’s 
head has damaged one or two letters. There are certainly two os to 1., 
and traces of a third. On the r., the first legible character is certainly 
o, and the third is A. The second and fourth are doubtful. 
Rev. Two figures, standing, facing each other, the head of that to r. having 
been punched out. Both are clad alike in coats reaching to the knee. The figure 
to r. wears a sword. 
Greek legend, beginning from r. top, is APo oANAAAo, which 
should probably be read [BIZlAPo oANAAAo. The second name is 
certain. The A is the fifth form, and the N the third form in Cun¬ 
ningham’s table of the Indo-Scythic Greek Alphabet ( Num. Chron. for 
1892, PL X). The letters AG 0 are also certain on the original coin. 
This is a very peculiar piece. The effigy of BIZAro (Vi^kha, a 
son and impersonation of Skanda) has hitherto been known only on coins 
of Huviska, associated with Skanda Kumara (ZKANAo KoMAPo); 
and with Mahasena (MAAXHNo). ( B. M. Catal., p. LXVI, 149, 150 ; 
PI. XXXVIII, 22-24). 
The name oANAAAo is new. The closely related form oANIN' 
AA (or oANINAo) is found on some rare coins of Huviska associated 
with a figure of the Goddess Nike. 
oANAAAo may possibly be only a variant of oANINAo, but is 
more probably a male deity, the star Yanant. The effigy on the new
