Liaka Kusulaka

Liaka Kusulaka (Greek: Λιακο Κοζουλο Liako Kozoulo, on his coins; Prakrit: Liaka Kusulaka or 𐨫𐨁𐨀𐨐𐨆 𐨐𐨂𐨯𐨂𐨫𐨂𐨐𐨆 Li-a-ko Ku-su-lu-ko, Liako Kusuluko, on the Taxila copper plate[1]) was an Indo-Scythian satrap of the area of Chukhsa in northwestern India during the 1st century BCE.

[1] The name is composed od from Saka *Ryaka, meaning "youth" and *Kuzulaka "striving, ambitious, energetic".

[2] He is mentioned in the Taxila copper plate inscription (Konow 1929: 23-29), dated between 90 and 6 BCE, as the father of Patika Kusulaka, and is characterized as a "kshaharata" (also the name of the first dynasty of the Western Satraps) and as kshatrapa of Chukhsa.

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.
