¹ Takshaçilā copper-plate, Bühler, *Ep. Ind.*, IV, p. 54; Mathurā Lion Capital, *Ep. Ind.*, IX, p. 139; Coins of Rañjubula and Çoḍāsa, Rapson, *J.R.A.S.*, 1894, p. 547; Āmohinī votive tablet, Bühler, *Ep. Ind.*, II, p. 199, No. 2 and Plate. Bühler originally read the date as 40 (?) 2. He subsequently corrected this to 70 2 (*Ep. Ind.*, IV, p. 55, note 2); but his original reading seems undoubtedly to be justified by the accompanying Plate, and by his own table of numerals in *Indische Palaeographie*, Plate IX. On grounds of style, Sir John Marshall holds that this votive tablet 'dates from about the beginning of the Christian era'; *v. inf.* Chapter XXVI, p. 633.
