Evidently, Antiyoka was the immigrant Yavana or Ionian king who was the contemporary king. His capital was located 800 or 600 yojanas away (Probably in Armenia or Parthia. One Yojana was roughly equal to 8 km.) from Pataliputra as mentioned in the Rock Edicts of King Ashoka. Other four Yavana kings, Turamaya, Antikini, Maka and Alikasundara were the subordinate kings of Antiyoka in Afghanistan.
