c12.s2.27

“Next in order of interest should undoubtedly be named the ‘Milinda Panha; or, Questions of Menander.’ Whatever be the origin of this remarkable work, there can be no doubt of its great antiquity, for it exhibits a familiarity with Greek names and places, and records a religious discussion between the Buddhist divine Nāgasena and a ‘Yona’ king Milinda, who can be identified with certainty with the Bactrian king Menander.”—Childers in Pâli Dictionary.
