Indo-Scythians - Abiria to Surastrene.
The first Indo-Scythian kingdom in the Indian subcontinent occupied the southern part of Pakistan (which they accesses from southern Afghanistan), in the areas from Abiria (Sindh) to Surastrene (Gujarat), from around 110 to 80 BCE. They progressively further moved north into Indo-Greek territory until the conquests of Maues, circa 80 BCE.
The Indo-Scythians ultimately established a kingdom in the northwest, based in Taxila, with two Great Satraps, one in Mathura in the east, and one in Surastrene (Gujarat) in the southwest.

| | | | Indo-Scythians: Encyclopedia II - Apollodotus I - An abundant multi-cultural coinage The coinage of Apollodotus is, together with that of Menander, one of the most abundant of the Indo-Greek kings. It is found mainly in the provinces of Punjab, Sindh and Gujarat, indicating the southern limit of the Indo-Greek expansion in India. This is confirmed by the Periplus, a 1st century CE document on trade in the Indian Ocean, which describes the remnants of Greek presence (shrines, barracks, wells, coinage) in the strategic port of Barygaza (Bharuch) in Gujarat. Strabo (XI) also describes the occupation of Patalene (Indus ...

They have been variously thought of as originating from present day Maharashtra or Andhra Pradesh, ...

| | | | Indo-Scythians: Encyclopedia II - Strato I - Territorial losses Strato's territory extended from the mid-Punjab at the Jhelum River in the West to Mathura in the East, retaining the capital of his father in Sagala (modern Sialkot) in the northern Punjab, or possibly to the city of Bucephala (Plutarch, p. 48 n. 5). The area of Gandhara, west of river Jhelum, also belonged to the kingdom but seems to have been lost during the latter part of Strato's reign, perhaps to the Western king Antialcidas. According to archaelogical evidence, Strato I was apparently the last Greek king to hold Mathura, which seems to ha ...

The Edicts of Ashoka, inscribed during the reign of the Indian emperor Ashoka (273-232 BCE), claim that the Greek populations of the northwestern Indian subcontinent (in today's Afghanistan and ancient Gandhara) had already welcomed Buddhism by around 250 BCE:
"Here in the king's domain among the Greeks, the Kambojas, the Nabhakas, the Nabhapamkits, the Bhojas, the Pitinikas, the Andhras and the Palidas, everywhere people are following Beloved-of-the-Gods' instructions ...
