The following is part of a letter to E. C. Bayley, Esq. from Col. 
Cunningham, dated 6th May, 1862. 
“ I have got a small silver coin, similar to the oboli of Eukratides, 
but of a new barbarous king, Obv. King’s head, bold Lev. a stand¬ 
ing figure, almost the same as that on the copper coins of Kadaphes 
Zathus. Legend in two lines HPAOY KOIPAN (Y)—The name ap¬ 
pears to be complete. I read it as Heraus (? Herawa p Era.) I have two 
somewhat similar coins, but still closer imitations of the Eukratides 
obolus with the legend KOZOYAO in one line, the other line being 
wanting except OKO.—K otpavos is a well known name for king, and 
Era or Ela or Aila is an Indian name. 
"With regard to Oskaus, I rather incline to read the name as 
Huvoskaus. There is no Y after Turauno, unless the T looking letter 
be taken for Y. To read TOY we must omit the Y from TYPANNOY. 
I would prefer reading TYPANNOY OYOSKAOY 2ANAB .. YIIIOO- 
ANOY. This would be Voskaus, but might also be read as Hovoskaus, 
which would be a near approach to Huvislika. The actual letters, 
however, read TYP ANNO TOY O^KAOY. 
The name of the father of Zeionisos appears to- be Manigala. One 
of my coins has ANNJI on the Greek side. May he not have been 
the founder of Manikyala. This name, as it at present stands, is of 
course a pure Hindu one, Manikya -p alaya, but the name may have 
been slightly altered from Manigalaya. I have an impression of a 
third didrachm of Zeionisos, different somewhat from my own two 
coins. I have sent for the coin itself. It seems odd that we do not 
get any of Manigal’s own coins. I have half a dozen of his son’s 
copper coins, besides the two silver ones. If we could get some more 
of these coins which give the father’s names we should get some 
valuable facts to add to our scanty knowledge of early Indian his¬ 
tory. 
Have you any specimen of the Jital ? I have one small copper 
coin with the word Jitalah I cannot make out the legends. I 
read bagani _? does the coin express the value of & jital in gdnis ? 
I have 
two Kashmirian copper coins with
