EPIGRAPHIA INDICA
NOTE ON THE BAJAUR INSCRIPTION OF MENANDROS
THE LATE DR. STEN KONOW, OSLO9
In the Epigraphia Indica, Vol. XXIV, pp. 1-8, the late N. G. Majumdar published a Kharōshṭhī inscription which contains the name of the Greek ruler Menandros and which can, with
certainty, be ascribed to about the middle of the second century B. C. If we abstract from the
inscription on the Swāt relic vase of the Meridarkh Theodoros10 this is the first old record which
mentions ofte of those Greek princes who established themselves in the Indian border-land about
the second century B. C. And it is of considerably greater importance than the swat record
because Menandros played a great role in the conquest of India, while Theodoros is not known
from other sources. It has not, however, so far as I know, been noticed or discussed in European
or American journals.
___________________________
[1] The first akshara of this word is lost by the peeling off of the surface of the rock. Of the second akshara mha,
only the superscript m remains. It has the same form as in balmanāna[ṁ], below, in l. 4.
[2]Read chhaṭhe. There is a dot in the middle of the circle of ṭha due to a fault in the rock, which makes
it look like tha. As the following symbol shows, chhaṭhe is the intended word.
[3] These four aksharas are very carelessly incised.
[4]About five aksharas are lost here. The word probably contained the name of the father of Idadeva and
ended in putena.
[5]Sanskrit, Indradēvēna.
[6]The anusvāra on na is indistinct.
[7]Sanskrit, cha. Ya is used in this sense in other records also. See,e.g., the Mayidavōlu plates of Śivashandavarman, above, Vol. VI, p. 85, and the Bāsim plates of Vindhyaśakti II, above, Vol. XXVI, p. 151.
[8] [Dr. Dines Chandra Sircar has also published a note on this inscription ; above, Vol. XXVI, No. 46, pp. 318
ff.─ Ed.]
[9] [It is greatly to be regretted that the author passed away when thislearned essay of his was in an advancedstage of proof.─Ed.]
[10]C. I. I. Vol. II, pt. I, p. 1.
