The Greeks in Bactria and India c29.22

⁷ Periplus 24 is the best instance; see also 14, 16, 22, 23. J. Kennedy, JRAS 1913 p. 125, thought that τύραννος in the Periplus meant a local ruler who was probably a vassal, but the evidence does not go to show that vassaldom was of the essence of the meaning. Some have thought that the five Yueh-chi princes were vassals of some supreme overlord; there seems to be no evidence.
