Notes
- Note: A letter from Vlasto in the ANS confirms that his Cat. 18, although ascribed to Noe 689, is from this hd.
- Note: Notes in the ANS state that Lockett purchased from this hd. 3 coins as his 404-6
- Note: In addition to the bulk of the hd. preserved at Reggio, it seems likely that c. 40 AV of Metapontum (most with Leucippus hd.) were dispersed. A note in the ANS states that all the hd. coins as SNGLockett 406 were more worn than the other Metapontum AV. This note further describes 120-125 AR seen in commerce which purportedly were from this hd.: c. 100 Taras, 7 Metapontum, 5 Croton, 1 Locri, and 2 Thurian dist. The Locri coin is described as ϕ type (probably a Pegasus); the others were similar to those at Reggio
- Note: ANSSNG 1, 1215, published as from this hd., is of Per. VIII and probably from no. 1997 below
