¹ Lassen, II² p. 409, said W’ou-ti-lao was Gondophares, now known to have been more than two generations later. Cunningham, *NC* 1888 p. 52, made Yin-mo-fu Miaos; J. Kennedy, *JRAS* 1912 p. 685, made him Kanishka or a viceroy of his. A. Herrmann, *Sakai* in PW, made him Maues, Maues being to him an Amyrgian Saca who came in from the north-west *c.* 60 B.C., while he said that ‘no one can doubt’ that W’ou-ti-lao was Agathocleia, nearly a century earlier. Franke p. 63, de Groot p. 88, and Konow *CII* p. xxiv relate the story without explanation; but Konow p. xxv has some pertinent criticism of Herrmann and thinks that Yin-mo-fu was not a Saca.
