Book of Indian Eras, with Tables for Calculating Indian Dates c13.23

c13.23

Having accepted these dates—and I do not see how they can be disputed—I feel that the dates found in the Indo-Scythian inscriptions along with the names of the Macedonian months must also be referred to the Seleukidan era. I am quite prepared, therefore, to accept all the dates of the Indo-Scythian inscriptions from Kabul and Taxila and Mathura as belonging to the Seleukidan era, with the hundreds omitted after the Indian custom. This also would appear to be Mr. Thomas's conclusion, when he says: "The question thus arises whether this latter practice (of using the Macedonian names of the months) does not imply a continued use of the Seleukidan era, in association with which the names must first have reached India."
