The Greeks in Bactria and India c16.42

- **Language:** English

### [c16.42](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c16.42)

Section 8 says that after the Yavanas have perished by the power of the Age seven kings will reign in Sāketa, and then with §§9 and 10 we come to the advent of the Sacas. I mention this because Jayaswal, by certain synchronisms with the Sunga kings which I am not competent to check, has reached the date of c. 100 B.C. for the coming of the Sacas, which is very much the dating I have adopted on quite other grounds.
