Sophytes
Coin of Sophytes (305–294 BC)
Sophytes seems to have been a Greek prince who would have reigned from 305 to 294 BC on a kingdom in northern India (in today's Punjab in Pakistan).
He is sometimes described as a son of Alexander the Great and the daughter of prince Subhuti, himself one of the ten major disciples of the Buddha Shakyamuni.
The reign of Sophytes apparently ended with the conquests of the Chandragupta emperor Maurya.
