³ *Lahore Cat.* p. 99 no. 15; Cunningham, *NC* 1890 p. 134 no. 21, and p. 136 no. 27 = *BMC* p. 70 no. 14. This last is unmistakable: Zeus holds Nike on his hand and before him is the forepart of a small elephant, as on Eucratides’ ‘Kapisi’ coins (p. 213). Cunningham *ib.* p. 104 says that Maues’ coins are never found in the Kabul valley; but in fact some come in to dealers at Jalalabad (J. Hackin, *JA* 226, 1935, p. 290), and in any case the evidence of the type last mentioned, and of the monograms, is much too explicit to be overruled by any consideration of find-spots (see App. 1).
