Notes

Note: Greek? Rostovtzeff and Prou recorded the legend as ΑΡΧΕΡΕΥC TW// ΙCIHC. They suggest the legend is the name of a archiereus, citing a piece in the BM incompletely published by Payne from Nicaea -Nummi Veteres in museo Richadi Payne Knight asservati (London, 1830) p. 137 (not the same type). They suggested B is a mark of value.
