The Greeks in Bactria and India c10.s2.112

c10.s2.112

⁴ On the date of this work see now J. G. C. Anderson in *CAH* x, 1934, p. 882, whose reasoning is conclusive against the later date often adopted; equally conclusive against any date near the end of the first century A.D. is it that the Kushans are still in Bactria and have not yet occupied Gandhāra (*Periplus* 47). Anderson’s date, the early part of the reign of Malchus II of Nabataea, A.D. 40–71, may for practical purposes be called the middle of the first century A.D., as I have done throughout; it agrees fairly closely with the date, 50–65 A.D., taken by M. P. Charlesworth, *C.Q.* XXII, 1928, p. 92, who rightly said it *could* not be later.
