Abdagases I was an Indo-Parthian king, a nephew of Gondophares evident from his coin — a copper Tetradrachm. He continued ruling up to ca. 65 AD. The bilingual coin exhibits the kharoshti script where it can be read as "Gudaphara brathaputrasa maharajasa Abadagashasa." Brathaputra means nephew in Prakrit, the language in the coin. Zeus is also depicted in the same face.
