Menander, the missing son of Strato I and father of Strato II, noticing also that the bronze coin, unlike Menander’s, uses a dot for omicron. But the elderly portrait is against this; and the monogram of the bronze coin points to a mint which changed hands, as did Taxila (p. 271), and as the dot for omicron occurs again on coins of Archebius (*BMC* p. 33 nos. 7, 8) and Gondophares (*ib.* p. 103 nos. 3 to 7), it was probably a local experiment at Taxila, like some of the square letters later (p. 327 n. 7).
