The Greeks in Bactria and India c9.s1.149

c9.s1.149

¹ J. Jordan, *Uruk-Warka* 1928 p. 41; see Holleaux, *op. cit.* p. 30, and Rostovtzeff, *Seleucid Babylonia* p. 6, who suggested that Kephalon might have been chief magistrate, *strategos*, as well as *epistates*; but a Babylonian magistrate in a Greek city would open up such a vista that the idea could not be entertained without express evidence (see p. 27 n. 3). Jordan’s date made the inscription fall in the reign of Seleucus IV, but Professor Rostovtzeff tells me that a fresh examination (*Fünfter Bericht* p. 25 n. 1) has shown that the date is really 110 Sel. (201 B.C.), in the reign of Antiochus III.
