But before he succeeded Azes II as Great King of Kings in India, Gondopharnes had also succeeded him as viceroy of Arachosia. In this subordinate rule he was at one time associated, under the suzerainty of Orthagnes, with Guḍa or Guḍana (Guḍāna) who may perhaps have been his brother (p. 579, Pl. VIII, 51). The coins, on which Orthagnes still appears as chief ruler but with Guḍana alone as his subordinate¹, must no doubt be assigned to the period after Gondopharnes had succeeded Azes II in the sovereignty of N.W. India.
