It is shocking that there is no mention in this article of that there is no inscription of a figure as great as Diodotus-I. In the second paragraph we read that “His power seems to have extended over the neighbouring provinces.” True indeed! We are also informed that “Diodotus was a contemporary, a neighbour, and probably an ally of Andragoras, the satrap of Parthia, who at about the same time also proclaimed independence from the Seleucid Empire.” Is Ashoka ignored just because Trogus does not mention him ? This is blind scholarship. Sir George Macdonald, on the other hand, writes in the Cambridge History of India (p. 439), “The spectacle of the greatness of the Maurya Empire would not be lost upon a satrap of such force of character as the elder Diodotus”. Who ruled Arachosia? Was it Ashoka whose edict has been found here or Diodotus whose coins abound in the region? Should we address such problems? This page has been sanitized and now reads like a fairy tale. Maybe fairy tales are better than history. Google Antiquity project presents a saner picture[1].
