Ant.*, x, 324, dated in the *year 11 in the reign of mahārāja rājātirāja devaputra Kanishka, on the 28th day of the month Daisios of the Macedonian calendar*. That calendar might be used in connexion with any era, as it was used with the Pontic era of 297 B. C. by Pontic cities (*Num. Chron.*, 1905, p. 118).
