§ 43. Audumbara or Odumbara **(Plate III, 8)**. — The coins, found in the district of Pathānkot, are in style like the hemidrachms of the Greek prince Apollodotus and are found together with them. Their date is, therefore, probably c. 100 B.C. A similarity in style is also observable between the Audumbara coin given in C.CAI, Pl. IV, 1, and one of Azilises in NChr. 1890, Pl. X, 5 a. Like their contemporaries the Kuṇindas (§ 50) the Audumbaras use both Brāhmī and Kharoṣṭhī coin-legends.
