in the ' Ariana Antiqua' and in Cunningham's 'Coins of 

 Alexander's Successors in the East.' As both these works are 

 difficult of access, I illustrate a specimen in my possession. 



6. 

 Copper, square. Weight, 60. Size, -6. 



Obverse. — Helmeted bust 1. Legend,!. BAZIAEI22I, top 

 ZfiTHPoZ, r. MENANAPoY. 



Reverse. — Nike r., holding palm and wreath; mon. illeg- 

 ible. Kh. legend, top tratarasa, I. Menadrasa. 



The only specimen of this common type of Menander's 

 copper coinage known to me in which the bust is turned to 

 the left, instead of to the right. 



7. DiONYSIOS. 



Copper, round. Weight, 260. Size, 1*1. 



Obverse. — Apollo to r., clad in chlamys and boots; holds 

 arrow in both hands, quiver at back. Legend on three sides, 1. 



BAZIAEDZ, topZnTHPoZ, r. AloNYZloY- 



Reverse. — Tripod; r. trident, 1. Kh. letter ji. Kh. legend. 

 r. maharajasa, top tratarasa, 1. Dianisiyasa.

8. Philoxenos. 



Copper, square. Weight, 110. Size, '75. 



Obverse. — Deity standing facing with r. hand resting on

illegible but presumably BAZlAEfiZ ANlKHToY- To r. 

 apparently HAEEAoY or (t>IAEEA<>Y. 



Reverse. — Humped bull standing r. ; below Gr. letter 2. 



Kh. legend, r. maharajasa, top apadikatasa , 1. probably Phila- 

 sinasa. 



When I first acquired this coin, which is obviously genuine, 

 I thought that I had found a specimen of a new Indo-Greek 

 king. The coin is of passable workmanship, and the figure of
