  Iranica.com - INDO-PARTHIAN DYNASTY
The depiction of Abdagases II is very similar to that of Pacores, the last Indo-Parthian king in Seistan; the Greek legend copies the well-known, stereotyped Parthian Greek legend.
Apparently Abdagases, who specifies he is Gondophares' nephew (Senior, types 226-230; coin l), initially ruled at the same time as Gondophares, as his title ("king," and not "great king of kings") and coin weight suggest.
Few coins of Abdagases (Senior, type 232), Sarpedones (coin n), and Ubouzanes (Senior, types 254, 260; coin m) have been found; Sases, who is attested in a wider area, seems to have ruled longer, as the number of his coins and the variety of mintmark combinations suggest (Senior, type 246).

As St. Thomas met this King Gudnaphar, the date for Gondophares necessarily had to be no earlier than approximately year 20 CE.
However, Robert Senior has argued that the King Gudnaphar of the Acts was probably Gondophares-Sases, who succeeded Abdagases, the successor to Gondophares I. On the basis of numismatic evidence, Senior dates Gondophares 70 years earlier than the conventional date.
This unique coin was published by Senior in the Newsletter of the Oriental Numismatic Society, No. 171 (Spring 2002).

He was a close contemporary of Gondophares, since his coins are often overstrikes of those of the Indo-Parthian king from south of the Hindu Kush.
This information, plus the Chinese annals, suggest that Kujula Kadphises took the Kabul valley from the Indo-Parthians under Gondophares and his successor, Abdagases, whose coins are also widely found in this part of the world.
The Kushan ruler probably also took the heartland of Gandhara further to the east from the last Indo-Parthian ruler there, Sasan.
