... Beyond this Arhtiyoka were four rājas who are not labelled as "Yona": Turamāya, Arhtekini, Magā (or Makā), Alikasudara. These too have been equated with the post-Alexandrine Ptolemy of Egypt, Antigonus of Macedon, Magas of Cyrene and Alexander of Epirus or Alexander of Corinth. But it is forgotten that the 5 Greek kings concerned were not the only ones in the post-Alexandrine age. There were some... of the names shown to be explicable without resort to them. All in all, it is possible to prove Page 592 "Antiochus" indecisive, "Ptolemy" impossible, "Magas" unnecessary, "Antigonus" inaccurate and "Alexander" unlikely as well as gratuitous. Aśoka can further be proved to have had no connection with Ceylon: his "Tāmbapamnī" and "Tāmbapamnīya" refer only to the South-Indian ...
... name, we have a most interesting note by Bhandarkar: 2 "Arhtekina or Amtikini, as Buhler has remarked, corresponds to the Greek Antigenes rather than to Antigonus. But, as no king named Antigenes is known, Amtikini has been identified with Antigonus Gonatas of Macedonia." Have we not here a bit of a hurry to suit preconceived theory? Why not admit straight away that the name of no Greek king in the... rulers can be equated to five Greek kings who reigned in the period after Alexander's immediate successors. They were Anti-ochus II Theos of Syria and Western Asia, Ptolemy II Phi-ladelphus of Egypt, Antigonus Gonatas of Macedonia, Magas of Cyrene and Alexander of Epirus or else his namesake of Corinth. The reign-period of these kings were 261-246 B.C., 285-247 B.C., 278-239 B.C., 300-258 (or 250)... Page 266 usage. But, if our theory is to be preferred, we have at once a state of affairs unhealthy for the assumption that Aśoka was listing a series of Greek kings. Ptolemy, Antigonus, Magas and the two Alexanders were not at all subordinate to Antiochus. And if Aśoka lived in their epoch he would certainly know this through the diplomatic relations with them which our historians ...
