Hottinger* mentions both the preceding, and gives a plate of 

 one in his possession, which was of silver. It agrees with ours, 

 and has the penultimate word « hassui." It is strange that this 

 plate has the last word ip ; but Hottinger, in giving the de- 

 scription of it in his text, copies the sentence without it, and trans-

 if any letter were omitted in the die by mistake, it must have 

 been the Vau in -jyj, and not a final mem. 



Crinesiusf mentions the medals of Thes. Ambrosius and of Wa- 

 serus, but with nothing particularly worthy of noticing in this place. 



Leusden+ says, that he had one of brass, and quotes fAlstedius 

 concerning it. I shall revert to these authors hereafter : the speci- 

 men given by both of them agrees entirely with that of Waserus: 

 they both construe the inscription as he does. 



Wagenseil§ describes two medals : upon one side of the first 

 IS the head of our Saviour, and upon the other the words, || 



Or, Jesus Nazarenus Messias, Jehovah et homo simul. 



This medal approaches near to that, which was found in the 



island of Anglesea, and is represented by Wagenseil as being 



rare. The second is entirely similar to the medal which forms our 



subject, and the penultimate word is « hassui". Of this specimen he
