Excerpt from The Sanctuary
The exact time of his earthly career is uncertain, but it must have been between the death of the Buddha and the birth of the Christ, probably two centuries after the Blessed One.
Many interesting stories have wandered down the centuries concerning him, but better than all legends is the veritable account of his discussion with Menander-Milinda, one of the Greek kings of Baktria, solving all his perplexing problems. This most interesting account may be found in Vol. XXXV. of the Sacred Books of the East, translated from the Pali language by the learned and genial Professor T. W. Rhys Davids.
