1. From the photo-plate and the facsimile in Ep.Ind.. XXIV, facing pp212.
2. Sircar: 3. But the top most stroke does not seem to be a part of the numeral, since the spacing between it and the lower stroke is not regular, Kanishka’s regnal reckoning राज्य संवत्सर
began in 78 A.D. It continued to be used by his successors. Western Saka Kshatrapas continued to use it regularly. Hence it came to be known as the Saka era.. See D.C. Sircar, Sel.Inss. p.136.
