§ 65. Hermaeus, Kujula Kadphises. — The numismatic evidence of the progress of this Kuṣana conquest of the kingdom of Hermaeus is complete. The coins show the following sequence: -- (1) Hermaeus alone (GARD. p. 62); (2) Kujula Kadphises associated with Hermaeus, i. e. *obv.* ΕΡΜΑΙΟΥ, *rev.* in Kharoṣṭhī *Kujula Kasasa* (**Plate II, 7**; cp. GARD. p. 120); (3) Kujula Kadphises alone, i. e. *obv.* ΚΟΖΟΛΟ ΚΑΔΦΙΖΟΥ, *rev.* Kujula Kasasa (**Plate II, 8**; cp. GARD. p. 122). Kujula Kadphises (= Kieu-tsieu-khio in Chinese) is said to have died at the age of 80, c. A.D. 10, and the conquest of India, i. e. the Panjab and the territory as far as the Jamna is ascribed to his successor (SPECHT, JA. 1883 (II), p. 325).
