But somewhere about 80 B.C. they started northward from Abiria up the Indus⁴ to attack the Greek centres in the north, under a leader whose name in Greek was Maues or Mauakes, in Kharoshthi Moa or Moga (p. 496). The same name, Mauakes (Mu-ku'a), had been borne by the Saca king of Ferghana in 101 B.C. (p. 308); if I am right in my belief that the Saca rulers of Ferghana at this time belonged to the Sai-wang (pp. 278 sq.), Maues may have belonged to the same people, some of whom, we have seen, must have come south with the Sacaraucae; Maues' power would explain the insistence of the Chinese sources on the Sai-wang ultimately reaching and ruling 'Ki-pin' (see p. 277 n. 6). - [Previous: c10.s6.62](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c10.s6.62) - [Next: c10.s6.64](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c10.s6.64) - [Up: c10.s6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c10.s6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c10.s6.63](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c10.s6.63) · Pramāṇa
