Gondophares III Gudana, or Gadana, previously called Orthagnes, was an Indo-Parthian king.[1]. He may have ruled circa 20–30 CE (25-55 CE according to Mitchiner).[1] He was one of the successors of Gondophares, together with Abdagases, Sases, Gondophares II, Sarpedones, and Pacores.[2] He may have ruled from Arachosia to Eastern Punjab.[2]
