If nobody disagrees, I will rewrite this according to Robert Senior's reconstruction (ISCH IV) from 2006. Senior refers to forcing chronological consequences - there is no Azes II, as Azes I overstruck one of the coins attributed to him.
The empire of Gondophares I was a loose framework where many smaller dynasties maintained their own coinage, and it immediately fell apart. Later Gondopharid kings and their associates ruled small principalities as far apart as eastern Iran and Sindh.
Senior does not use the term Indo-Parthian at all; the Gondopharids were related to the Apracarajas , and there is little Parthian about them except some stylistic inspiration from Parthian coinage. So the new redirect will be the Gondopharid dynasty, Senior's term.
The king Gundafar in the Acts of Thomas could not possibly be Gondophares I, who was active before the advent of Christianity, according to Senior. It should be a later bearer of the name, which soon became more of a title, like Arsakes for the Parthians. Sponsianus (talk) 11:06, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
It seams that you have made a mistake : the panoramic vue shows a monastery, not a temple ? "Panorama of ancient Buddhist monastery ruins at the Jaulian archaeological site;". It really looks like a buddhist monastery. ismoon on Wikipédia (France) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ismoon (talk • contribs) 20:01, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

This article desperately needs sources. The dates seem wrong and don't match with related articles. The infobox has material not sourced in the article. It uses the words Kingdom and empire. It says disestablished around 240 when "Sakastan" (and why is that a redirect instead of linking to its own article at Sakastan?) was conquered by the Sassanian Empirel. But Sakastan says it was formed in 240. Doug Weller talk 18:08, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
But... we do. The new sources state so. The intro was not the only information that needed change, but in fact the whole article does. The article is outtdated and dodgy. Please dont remove sourced information and re-add outdated stuff which wasn't even sourced to begin with. A lot of new light has been shed about the Indo-Parthians in academic sources these last few years, it's time we move with it. --HistoryofIran (talk) 00:35, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
HistoryofIran: The idea that Gondophares I was a Suren is not new; on the contrary, it is a very old idea, as can be seen on the Suren page: it was promoted by Ernst Herzfeld a hundred years ago. The problem is - to repeat myself - that there are no written sources confirming this. The Gondopharid kings, to my knowledge, never used the title Suren on their coins or in inscriptions (if this is wrong, I welcome references to that, not only to authors who use the word Suren Kingdom). Therefore, this idea should be treated as a hypothesis, not as an established fact. Here is a good, modern survey of the Indo-Parthians, using all modern numismatic literature. Indo-Parthian_descendants_in_the_Sasanian_era. It does not even mention the word Suren.
I, on the other hand, referred to a theory that is built on the modern research that you call for: numismatic evidence associates Gondophares I with the Apracarajas; it is therefore a suitable hypothesis that he was related to them. This is from a study by R.Senior published less than ten years ago. It is not in good style that you removed this referenced section without commenting, and your claim that it was outdated and not sourced is simply false. I intend to include it again in the opening text alongside the Surena hypothesis. This will cause me quite some extra work, so please do not delete it again. --Sponsianus (talk) 06:24, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
