Although SKi is correct, if would be important to mention that Soter Megas is a title. Kind of like Mega Savior...of Great Savior...
This King was identified by name in 1993 based on an inscription commissioned by Kanishka. Chris I would hold Ski out for the real name, just for kicks...hahaha.

Then King Kanishka gave orders to Shafar the karalrang *at this . . . to make the sanctuary which is called B . . . ab, in the *plain of Ka . . ., for these [9] gods, (of) whom the . . . *glorious Umma leads the *service here, (namely:) the *lady Nana and the [10] lady Umma, Aurmuzd, the gracious one, Sroshard, Narasa, (and) Mihr.
