Among the most important and representative Kharoṣṭhī inscriptions of this period are the Mathurā lion capital inscriptions (CII 2.1, 30–49), recording various donations by the family of the Mahākṣatrapa Rajula to the Sarvāstivādin monks; the Takht-i-Bāhī stone inscription of the time of Gondophernes (CII 2.1, 57–62), which furnishes an important fixed point in the chronology of the Scytho-Parthian period; and the Kurram relic casket inscription (CII 2.1, 152–5), recording the *pratītyasamutpāda* formula in Gāndhārī.
