Publisher: London Royal Asiatic Society, 1860. This is an original report from the 1800's. Notes: This is a fascinating paper which concludes that the Priyadarsi of the Indian edicts is Phraates I, who was a Buddhist. Phraates I (c. 176 - 171 B.C.) Fourth king of the Parthians, Phraates I was the eldest son of Phriapatius and inherited the throne at his father's death, as was the Parthian custom.1 He had two brothers, Artabanus I and Mithradates I. Soon after taking the throne, he turned his arms against the Mardi, who lived in the Elburz mountains south of the Caspian Sea. The Mardians in particular he deported and settled in Charax near the Caspian Gates. Not long after this victory Phraates died and was succeeded by his brother Mithradates I, for whom he cherished a special affection, although he had several sons, presumably of age.
