The successor of Gondopharnes was Pacores. His coins show that he was undoubtedly suzerain in Irān; for they bear the imperial title together with the type 'Victory' which was first issued by Orthagnes (Pl. VIII, 55; cf. Pl. VIII, 51); and his portrait, combined on coins found at Takshaçilā with the symbol of Gondopharnes and the legend of the commander-in-chief, Sasas, proves that he exercised at least a nominal sway in India (*v. inf.*). The types of another king, Sanabares, with their purely Greek legend, must be attributed to Seistān. There is no evidence of his rule either in Kandahār or India (Pl. VIII, 56).
