Notes
- Note: Noe's record omits the Eretrian fractions and includes three owls. E. J. P. Raven (in a letter dated Oct. 3, 1951) points out that the three earliest accounts of the hd. indicate the presence of the Euboean coins but provide no evidence for the owls. The confusion in the later reports would seem, as he says, to stem from Cousinéry's line drawings (pl. 4) which include owls as examples of later Athenian issues
