 acquired specimen bears the type of Zeus seated, holding a

 Emperor Tacitus at this city, the Metropolis of Pamphylia.

 rarity. The only. two hitherto known coins of Codrula are 

 in the collection of the late M. Waddington, concerning which 

 he says {Melanges I. 83) that they are the only evidence for 

 the orthography of the name of a city which appears under 

 various blundered appellations in the Ecclesiastical Notices, 

 in the Acts of the Council of Chalcedon, and in Hecataeus of 

 Miletus as cited by Stephanus Byzantinus. 



Verhe or Verbis in Pisidia. — Philip Jun. Bronze. Of
