Another round silver mirror from Pompeii, from a silver cache in the House of Menander, below. So very different from bronze mirrors, probably providing a better reflection.

The correct answer is D. Menander I, known in Pali as Milinda, whose philosophical exchanges with Nagasena are documented in this 2nd-century BCE text.

Of course, thats why they fought. But Pushpamitra became a King 20 years before Menander. Thats why early in his career, he first repelled Demetrius 1 who ruled Greco-Bactrians atleast three successions prior.

What is the significance here? Inscription says nothing except mention Menander.

The struggle of Greco-Bactrians for the Gangetic Plains was older than Menander’s acceptance of Buddha’s Teaching although he was well read before the debate with Nāgasena. So the war with Menander is earlier than his sympathy for Buddha’s followers.

Menander on the other hand was known to not have been convinced by any school. He debated with all, won and insulted others. He did so before Bhante Nāgasena’s birth. And then adult Bhante Nāgasena defeats him. Pushpmitra passed away in 149 BCE.

Is it? Do we have this recorded in any early text? Because this doesn’t sound reliable. Menander came to rule in 165 BCE, where as Pushpamitra came to rule in 185 BCE. The destruction he is said to have done is immediately after becoming the King.

I'm aware, but these were only local councils. Another one, the (even earlier) Council of Laodicea (c. 363), didn't include the disputed books. As I said, plenty of distinguished churchmen held the Apocrypha to be lower-grade and not inspired. Another council, of Trullo, endorsed both the Laodicean and Carthaginian canons despite the fact that they disagreed with each other! As to what the LXX including the Apocryphal books, they disagree among themselves as to what to include, and they include some things that nobody thinks is canonical. If you say, for example, that there are references to the Apocrypha that are close enough to be quotations, this proves too much. Jude quoted 1 Enoch, which only the Ethiopian Orthodox Church considers canonical; and Paul quoted figures like Aratus, Menander, and Epimenides, without considering them Scripture. Of all these, nobody ever writes, "It is written," or other indicators of being considered Scripture.

It is between 321 BCE and 130 BCE that Vedas began to be referred as Four - Catubbeda. We learn this from a Buddhist Text, the famous Milindapañha. Amongst 19 knowledges of Menander, 10th is counted as Catubbeda.
