===Kuliab inscription=== [[File:Heliodotos inscription, Kuliab.jpg|thumb|300px|Section of the Kuliab inscription written in Greek]] In an inscription found in the [[Kulab, Tajikistan|Kuliab]] area of [[Tajikistan]], northeastern Greco-Bactria, and dated to 200-195 BC,{{sfn|Wallace|2016|p=206}} a Greek by the name of Heliodotus, dedicating an altar to [[Hestia]], mentions Euthydemus as the greatest of all kings, and his son Demetrius I:{{sfn|Bopearachchi|2007|p=48}} :This fragrant altar to you, Hestia, most honoured among the gods, Heliodotus established in the grove of [[Zeus]] with its fair trees, furnishing it with libations and burnt-offerings, so that you may graciously preserve free from care, together with divine [[Tyche|good fortune]], Euthydemus, greatest of all kings and his outstanding son Demetrius, renowned for fine victories.{{Sfn|Glenn|2020|p=8}}<ref>[http://www.attalus.org/docs/seg/s54_1569.html Supplementum Epigraphicum Graecum: 54.1569]</ref> This is a further indication, alongside the passages from Polybius, that Euthydemus had made his son Demetrius a junior partner in his rule during his lifetime. The reference to Demetrius as a "glorious conqueror" might refer to a specific victory, in the conflict with Antiochus III{{sfn|Bopearachchi|2011|p=47}} or in India, or look forward to future victories.{{sfn|Glenn|2020|p=8}}
