Antialkidas, the immediate successor of Heliocles in *c.* 130 B.C.,¹ was the last of the line of Eukratides. It was this king who sent Heliodorus to the Śuṅga court. The purpose of the embassy is not clear. Perhaps the Śaka invasion of India which may have begun any time after 120 B.C. was partly responsible for it.
