(d) The correct match list is : 

Rulers          Country 

Antiyoka       Syria 

Antikini         Macedonia 

Maka           Cyrena 

Turmaya      Egypt

In his thirteenth inscription Ashoka mentions five Greek contemporary kings-Antiyoka (Syria 261-246 B. C.) Turamaya (Egypt, upto 247 B.C.), Kairina Kamar (300-250 B.C.) Alika Sundara (Apiran, 272- 258 B.C.), Autkina (Macedonia 278—339 B.C.). Historians find that all these rulers were thus before 258 B. C. The ruler of Apiran died in 258 B. C. but it finds mention in Ashoka’s inscription.
