WEIGHT OF COINS. 313 



1. The Attic Drachma of 66^ grains' weight. 

 Eleven Lycian coins, belonging to four different 

 types, weigh between 127 and 132^ grains; and 

 one, of another type, 134 grains. All of these 

 must be considered didrachms of the Attic 

 standard. The divisions appear to have been 

 into | and J of the didrachm, for we have two 

 coins weighing 22 and 22^ grains, and five 

 others between 38^ and 42 grains (the full 

 weight should be 44) ; the whole belonging to 

 seven different towns, of which we can only 

 name Trouneme or Tlos, Koprlle, Fegssere, and 

 Tunejore. There are also two coins belonging 

 to the same towns which do not fall into the 

 above divisions ; viz. one of Koprlle weighing 

 Ifrfo grains, and one of Trouneme weighing 

 32-^ grains : the latter, however, is so imperfect, 

 that it may have been the third of a didrachm. 



2. The Tyrian or Phoenician Drachma of 58 

 or 59 grains. Two coins of different types, 

 weighing 115 and 119 grains, must be reckoned 

 equivalent to Phoenician didrachms : one of these, 

 No. 18, is of Patara; the other, No. 8, of an 

 unknown city. The divisions here appear also 

 to be the \ and ^ of the didrachm : thus one coin, 

 with a boar and no legend, weighs 19 grains ;
