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. - [Previous: c10.s2.111](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c10.s2.111) - [Next: c10.s2.113](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c10.s2.113) - [Up: c10.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c10.s2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c10.s2.112](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c10.s2.112) · Pramāṇa
