Notes

  • Note: * Noe in Sicyon suggests that Newton's total of 33 for a rare Peloponnesian issue is dittography. If this is not the case, the hd. total would be 155+ and the number of Alexanders 128. Newton's record of 4 didr. of Alexander is corrected to dr. in Newell's ms. list of the contents. Whether or not the 3 gold staters of Alexander mentioned in the NC account (p. 37) were originally part of the hd. is uncertain
