Asoka’s inscriptions therefore belong to the 15th century B.C. At that time there were no Greek states in the region of modern Greece and the Greeks as a people were unknown. The Greeks were not Yavanas, the Yevanas were not Greeks. The Greeks of modern history of the 3rd century B.C. should properly be called Iono-Greeks, being a race of mixed descent from the Ionian settlers and the conquering Greek tribes from the north. Their names were also Iono-Greek (mixed) names.

In the names of the Greek kings identified with Yona Prakrit names of the Asokan inscriptions there is a samilarity only in the beginning but the rest is all a Greek name. There is no clear justification for the identification. Moreover these kingdoms are nowhere near the frontiers of Bharat or Asoka’s empire. Syria is at a distance of 1750 miles from the North-western Frontier-- beyond Ramatha, Hara, Huna, Sakasthan, Iran, iraq which intervene. Egypt is at a distance of 2400 miles, beyond Iran, Iraq, and the Red Sea.
Macedonia--nearly 3000 miles away, (ie about 6OQ yojanas only) to the Yavana kingdoms mentioned in the inscriptions are described as states beyond the borders of Asoka’s empire. If we take the boundary of his empire to have extended up to Taxila,on the north-west, the Bharatiya Yavana kingdoms of Abhisara, Uraga, Simhapura, Divyakataka, Uttara-jyothisha, the five Yavana states would be on the frontiers (North and North-west of Asoka’s empire. But it is absurd to argue that ‘Cyrene’, the Greek colony in Africa, which lay thousands of miles away from the frontiers of India, was a border State of "Asokan Empire. ‘Cyrene’ lay to the west of Lybia, a non-Greek territory, and it could never have been described as a border state of Asoka’s kingdom. Frontier states of adjacent countries should be touching the frontier borderline. In this sense Egypt, Syria and Macedonia and other Greek states of the 3rd century B.C., cannot have been the Frontier states of the supposed Asoka’s empire of the 3rd century B.C.
Only if we identify the Bharatiya Yavana. states of the 15th century B.C., (i.e modern Afganistan), as the frontier states of the inscriptions, the length of the entire range of Buddhist-religious influence on the north of Asoka's empire mentioned in the inscriptions will work out--from modern Afghanistan to the east coast of China -- nearly 800 yojanas as mentioned in Asoka’s inscriptions.
So "Amtioka" was a Bheratiya Yavana prince not an Iono-Greek or Greek Prince. He was the contemporary of Asoka. His age was from I472-36 B.C.. The "Yavana" of Northwest Bharat became Ionian in Asia minor and Greece and mixing with the Greek the Ionian became Iono-Greek and then by order of the Government of Ionia or Greece the Iono-Greek became “Greek" and the Country "Greece.°’
