The house of Eucratides was now reduced to the possession of the region which represented its earliest conquest to the south of the Hindu Kush. In the city of Kāpiçī on the most northern extremity of this region Eucratides had first used the type ‘Zeus enthroned’ to restrike the coins of the defeated Apollodotus; and this type, deprived of the special emblems of the tutelary divinity of Kāpiçī, ‘Elephant and mountain,’ remained characteristic of the coinages of the upper Kābul valley until the chapter of Yavana rule in India was closed. It was continued after the time of Eucratides by Heliocles, Antialcidas¹, Amyntas, and Hermaeus (*Summary*, p. 591, and Pl. VII, 37).
