1 836.^] Memoir on the Ancient Coins of Beghrdm. 25 



—The characters on the legend are pure Bactrian, as are those on the coins of 

 Ausius (Lysius), figs. 15 and 16, of Series 2, Class Grecian, of last year. 



Hermeeus. 



No. 19. (Fig. \2.) Obverse. — Bust, with tuft or pod on top of head. Legend 

 Greek, BA.UAEn5 2ilTHP02 EPMAIOY. 



Reverse. — Horse. Legend Bactrian. 



The type of this coin was given in our memoir of last year (fig. 38). The pre- 

 sent year we procured a more perfect specimen from Jelalabad : the coin is cer- 

 tainly Bactrian, judging by the characters on the legend of the reverse, and the 

 pod on the bead of the bust, together with the nature of the reverse, seem to 

 militate against the opinion, that this coin may represent the quadrangular coin- 

 age of Hermeeus before noticed. 



Adelphortes. 



Nos. 20, 21. (Figs. 13, 14.) Obverse. — Mounted warrior. Legend Greek, 

 BA2IAEA2 SnAATPIOT AIKAIOT AAEA^DPTDT. (See vol. iv.JP/.XXI. fig. 9.) 



Reverse. — Seated female deity, with mace or truncheon in right hand. Legend 

 Bactrian. 



This type was represented last year as fig. 44. Jelalab&d this year yielded two 

 fair specimens, from which the Greek legend is undoubtedly as above inserted ; 

 the reverse legend is as manifestly Bactrian. 



Paler fees. 



No. 22. (Fig. 15.J Obverse. — Standingfigure with trident in right hand. Legend 

 Greek BA2IAEUJN MErAADY nAAHPKDT. (See vol. iv. PL XXI. fig. 9.) 



Reverse. — Seated figure. Legend Bactrian. 



This type was represented last year as fig. 40. A more perfect specimen pro- 

 cured this year from K&bul, identifies the legend to be as above cited, the word 

 BA2IAEU2 being undoubtedly the one not plain. 



Basilis (Azilisos.) 



No. 23. (Fig. 16.) Obverse. — Horseman. Legend Greek.. ..portion legible 

 ErAAoT. AZIACoT. 



Reverse. — Elephant. Legend Bactrian. 



This is a single specimen procured at Kabul, the legend entire would probably 

 have been BACIAELdC BAClAEUiN MErAAoT BACIAICoY. 

 Alouokenou (Qy.) (Megalou Nonou ?) 



No. 24. (Fig 17.) Obverse. — Figure of Hercules erect, with club. Legend 

 Greek, obscure. (See vol. iv. PL XXI. fig. 10.^ 



Reverse. — Infantry soldier, holding wreathe in right hand, and armed with 

 sword, spear and shield. Legend Bactrian. 



This type was presented last year, as figs. 39 and 43. We have not discovered a 

 single coin of this type during the present year, but introduce this figure here 

 from the probability, on referring to the specimen we held, that the name of the 

 prince was AAOTOKHNOY ; the only doubt is as regards the letters KHN. 



Asou (Azou.) 



No. 25. Obverse.— Horseman. Legend Greek, portion visible BA2IA€n 



E AAOT A20T. (-See vol. iv. PL XXII. fig. 9.) 



Reverse. — Humped cow. Legend Bactrian. 



This is one of two specimens procured at Kabul; the entire legend would 

 mndoubtedly be BA2IAEfl2 BASlAEnN MErAAOT A20T.
