page 675 note 1 Gardner, B.M. Cat.: Seleucid Kings of Syria, pp. xv, 15, pl. v, 7. This appears to be the correct view. Babelon, Rois de Syrie, p. lx, denies that the portrait is that of Diodotus, but without any sufficient reason.

page 677 note 1 Cunningham, , Num. Chron., 1890, p. 119Google Scholar, noted the fact that coins of ‘ Artabanus’ were found countermarked with the ‘symbol of Gondophares,’ but no specimen seems to have been published, and it is impossible to verify the statement. He probably meant Artabanus III (A.D. 10–40) ; but it is, of course, possible that he may have used the name ‘ Artabanus’ by mistake for ‘ Orodes.’

page 679 note 1 It is to be understood that these are of silver, unless otherwise described.
