12. Skarah Dhöri image insoription : vasha ekupachadufatimae Ashadasa masasa di 10, "in the three-hundred-and-ninety-ninth year, on the 10. day of the month Ashadha."
Then follow the records of the Kanishka group:
18. Sue Vihar'inscription : Maharajasya rajatirajasya devaputrasya Kamishkasya savat. fare ekadasa 10 1 Daïrikasya masasya divase athaviso di 20 4 4, "in the eleventh, 11., year of the Maharaja, the Rajatiraja, the Dēva putra Kanishka, on the twenty-eighth day, d. 28., of the month Daisika."
14. Zoda inscription : Sarh 10 1 Ashadasa masasa di 20 Utaraphaguna (?), "anno 11, on the 20. day of the month Ashādha, in Uttaraphölguni."
16. Brass box lid Insoription : (JRAS., XX, Pl. 1-3): Banh 10 44 .. . . sastehi 10, "anno 18, after 10 days . . . ." The remainder of this inscription has not been made out. The last word before the date is perhaps Kanishka.
18. MAnikiAla insoription : Bari 10 4 4 etra purvae maharajasa Kaneshkasa Kartiyasa masa divase 20," anno 18, on the 20. day of the month Karttika, at the said date, (during the reign of the Maharaja Kanishka." I think this is the correct translation, though I admit that the order of words is irregular. That is however also the case in the Zeda inscription, where we find muradasa marjhakasa Kanishkasa not only after ite chhupams, but even after the words khade kue. Besides I do not think that the construction of Kaneshkasa with Gushanava lasa shvardhaka is free from objection. In Sanskrit it would hardly be possible to form such a gompound dpēkahatve, because it is not at all gamaka.
17. Hidda insoription : Sambattarde athavitatihiti) 20 44 mase Apelae sasthehi dafali 10, "in the twenty-enghth, 28., year, in the month Apelaios, when ten, 10, (day) had Passed."

10.
