The Early History of India, from 600 B.C. to the Muhammadan Conquest, including the Invasion of Alexander the Great c26.s1.47

c26.s1.47

The earliest of these Indo-Parthian kings apparently was Maues or Mauas, who attained power in the Western Panjāb perhaps about 95 B. C., and adopted the title of 'Great King of Kings' (βασιλέως βασιλέων μεγάλου), which had been used for the first time by either Mithradates I or Mithradates II. His coins are closely related to those of both those monarchs, as well as to those of the unmistakably Parthian border chief, who called himself Arsakes Theos. The king Moga, to whom the Taxilian satrap was immediately subordinate, is usually identified with the personage whose name appears on the coins as *Mauou* in the genitive case.²
