c13.17

I have been thus particular in describing the Syro-Macedonian Calendar of the Seleukidæ, as we know that it was in use in the north-west of India, during the period of Indo-Scythian rule, from which we may infer, with some certainty, that it must have been the common reckoning of their predecessors, the Bactrian Greeks. Mr. Thomas has already shown that this is highly probable; but nothing has yet been found to determine it absolutely.
