c10.s5.214

² Hyrcodes (*BMC* p. 117; R. Hoernle, *JASB* 1899 vol. LXVIII part 1, extra no. 1 p. 26; Allotte de la Fuye *op. cit.* p. 151); Spabāris (*ib.* p. 155); Sapadbizes (?), who wears Eucratides’ helmet (*BMC* p. 119; query, is he Spabāris?); and Phseigacharis (*ib.*), who must be later, as his coins have square phi and sigma. Hyrcodes issues Greek pieces and also pieces with Sogdian legends, but his face resembles that of Miaos and the Kushans. The obscure Sanabares (*BMC* p. 113) can hardly belong to this class, as his coins, unlike the others, have Greek monograms and were therefore struck in a recognised Greek mint.
