however, the king of justin's quote is not easily reconciled with the numismatical evidence, and views are divided as for how to interpret the various coinage series bearing the name demetrius. bopearachchi (1991) has singled out three kings named demetrius. demetrius i reigned c. 200-185 bc, well before the rise of eucratides, and demetrius iii was an indian king who is thought to have ruled much later, around 100 bc. there remains demetrius ii, who bopearachchi suggested reigned around 170 bc.
