The dark time of Parthian history is terminated by the accession probably in B.C. 76 of the king above mentioned as known by the three names of Sanatroeces, Sinatroces, and Sintricus.

The expression implies, at least, four or five monarchs; and thus we have no choice but to suppose that the succession of the kings is here imperfect, and that at least one or two reigns were interposed between those of the second Mithridates and of the monarch known as Sanatroeces, Sinatroces, or Sintricus.
