§ 25. Heliocles' successors. — The reigns of all the Greek princes who ruled after the date of Heliocles — they are about 20 in number according to the coins — must be confined within about a century, i. e. from c. 120 b.c. to 20 b.c., when the Kuṣanas completed the conquest of India. There were undoubtedly, for a considerable portion of this period, two or more distinct dynasties of Greek princes ruling at the same time, and varying greatly from time to time in power and extent of territory. No perfectly satisfactory arrangement of these different families or of the chronology of this period has yet been proposed.
