No. 1279, Amarāvatī, *Rāja Śrī Śivamaka Sata*; but it might belong to No. 25 or 26 below. | The ‘bow and arrow’ coins of Vāśishṭhīputra Vilivāyakura [I] may belong to any one of these three kings (see Rapson, pp. 5, 6), but possibly belong to a different line (see *Ind. Ant.*, vol. xlix, 1920, pp. 30–4). The ‘bow and arrow’ coins of Māṭharīputra *Sivalakura* have been assigned to this king (Rapson, p. 7). See also No. 25.

The Kshaharāta inscriptions are dated from 41 to 46 [Śaka], = A.D. 119–124; but Banerji takes these to represent a different era, perhaps the regnal years of Nahapāna. | | Jayadāman, son of Chashṭana, Satrap only. | 110 | Āndhra king No. 23, has been considered as = Baleokouros of Ptolemy.
