I have removed the last section which linked to a page that is clearly pseudo-historical. The page in question equals the Indian king Ashoka with the Bactrian king Diodotus I and makes lots of other unsupported and fantastic claims.

I have shortened Mörkholm's quote, removing the line "It is only difficult to understand why it came so late." This is because Mörkholm referred to a much later dating, where Bagadates was seen as a 2nd century ruler. Only recent studies have shown that this Persidian dynasty came to power in the days of Antiochus I.Sponsianus (talk) 20:16, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
