Gondophares I and his successors
Gondophares I originally seems to have been a ruler of Seistan in what is today eastern Iran, probably a vassal or relative of the Apracarajas. Around 20–10 BC,[4] he made conquests in the former Indo-Scythian kingdom, perhaps after the death of the important ruler Azeshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Parthian_Kingdom as viewed on 27.06.2019
As Senior points out,[8] this Gudnaphar has usually been identified with the first Gondophares, who has thus been dated after the advent of Christianity, but there is no evidence for this assumption, and Senior's research shows that Gondophares I could be dated even before 1 AD.
