About this person

Sophytes, or Saubhuti, was the name of a king in Bactria or the northwestern Indian subcontinent during the time of Alexander the Great's invasion. Sophytes surrendered to Alexander and was allowed to retain his kingdom. Probably another Sophytes, who was satrap in the eastern territories conquered by Alexander the Great, minted his own coins in the Greek style circa 300 BC. Rapson and some others have considered them as the same person.
