In Aśoka's inscription Kamboja is placed with Yona, Gandhāra, Laṭhika and Pitanaka (Dhauli, V, 4—योनकंबोज गंधालेस लठिकपितेनकेसु एवा पि अने आपलंता भटिमयेसु, II, p. 87) Kamboja also appears at Girnar (V, 5. योन कम्बोजगंधारानं); at Mansera, the Yonas and Kambojas (XIII, 10 योनकम्बोजेषु) are coupled. In the Mathurā Lion Capital inscription of the chief queen of Mahākṣtrapa Rajula (early 1st century A.D.) Sten Konow reads the local name of the queen as Kamuia meaning the Kambojan.⁷⁸
