in the ifleof gavlos, or Gozo, is plainly deduciblc? 
from the (7) draughts of it published by the Marquis 
Scipio Maffei and Sig. Abate Venuti; The latter, how- 
ever, ofthofe draughts approaches nearer the original 
than the former, with regard to theinfcription, though 
neither of them gives us a perfect repfefentation of the 
letters the piece exhibits. Of thofe letters the laffc 
only, or Nun, has been preferved intire on ifry coin, 
and this is fo faint that it is little more than barely 
vifible. Part of the fecond isjutt perceptible, and feenis 
to indicate the whole to have been Lamed) as that ele- 
ment appears on the coin of Gozo by me formerly 
defcribed. The firft letter is fo totally defaced that 
not the fainted; traces of it can be difcerned. I mud 
not forget to obferve, that the form of tlfe Nun here 
is perfectly Similar to, or rather exaCtly the fame 
with, that on the medal of Gozo I- have lately ex- 
plained, though fomewhat different from the cha- 
racters endued with the power of that element on all 
the draughts of the coins of Gozo that have hitherto 
appeared. 
It may not be improper to remark, that the' piece 
I am considering will bring a frefh acceffion of Strength 
to what has been advanced in (8) one- of my former 
papers, relative to this fpecies of coins, as well as to 
the Punic or Phoenician name of the people anti- 
ently inhabiting the iSle of Gozo. I Shall forbear at 
prefent drawing any other conclusion from the me- 
dal before me, or rather from the very faint remains of 
the Punic characters it has handed down to us.
