L- Liaka Kusulaka

By Sahi
   Liaka Kusulakawas an Indo-Scythiansatrap (Satrap was the name given to the governors of the provinces of the ancient Median and Achaemenid (Persian) Empires and in several of their successors, such as the Sasanian Empire and the Hellenistic empires.) of the area of Chukhsa in the northwestern South Asia i.e. probably present Chachh, immediately west of Taxila. during the 1st century BCE.
He was the satrap of the great king of Moga and that patika, his son was great gift lord ( Mahadanapathi)
He minted coins which are direct imitations of the coins of Eucratides(King's head andDioscuri), with his name inscribed "ΛΙΑΚΟ ΚΟΖΟΥΛΟ". These coins are imitations of those of Eucratides, but we are more justified to draw chronological conclusions from this fact than in the case of Maues
The coins of Liaka Kusulaka show the transition of the district they belong ie. part of eastern Gandhara.

The Greek spelling shows that the actual sound waskuzūla, and thiskuzūla is possibly the name of a family, as suggested by Professor Lüders, in which case the Kuzūlas must have belonged to the larger group of the Kshaharātas.

The name "Κοζουλο" was also used by the first Kushan ruler Kujula Kadphises (Greek: Κοζουλου Καδφιζου, Kozoulou Kadphizou or Κοζολα Καδαφες, Kozola Kadaphes), which may suggest some family connection.
