¹ D. R. Bhandarkar regards him as a viceroy of Kadphises II (*Ind. Ant.*, xlvii (1918), p. 76) and also of Kadphises I, who is called simply Kushāna in the Taxila scroll inscription of the year 136. The *Kuśana* of the Nāsik inscription 12 seems to mean the silver coinage of Nahapāna, who, like Kadphises I, imitated Roman coins. The varying heads on his coins appear to be merely imitations and not portraits at all. Minnagala, which according to the *Periplus* was the capital of Nahapāna, may be identified with Mandasor, in accordance with the latitude and longitude given by Ptolemy, nearly 2 degrees E. and 2 degrees N. of Barygaza.
