Pantaleon and Agathocles were undoubtedly closely connected, since they struck coins which are identical in type and form. These were borrowed from the earlier native currency which prevailed generally in the Paropanisadae and Gandhāra. From a general consideration of the *provenance* of their coins, which are found in Kābul, Ghazni, and Kandahār, Cunningham concluded that Pantaleon and Agathocles must have ruled over the Western Paropanisadae and Arachosia (*N.Chr.*, 1869, p. 41). They would seem therefore to represent the south-western extension of the Yavana power.
