On the obverse in each case, above the chariot, which
is proceeding at a walk, is a solar disk, a feature
unknown on any of the other obverse dies ;
in fact the
KYXAIPIO^ die gives the impression of being directly
suggested by the KYAIO30 die. Again, under
every magistrate in the first group, and under the
first two in the second group (save possibly in one
instance, where it may be a seated Ammon; see M.
i. 189, and the discussion of this coin below), the reverse
is occupied by the seated Zeus Lycaeus. Under the last
of the second group, PIOAI AN0EY3, we find throughout
the standing Zeus Ammon. Style and the development
of types thus point irresistibly to a direct succession
to the KYXAIPIO5
from the KYAIOS0 - - group
group. As has been hinted above, and as will be demonstrated
later, CIOAIAN0EYS, the last of the latter
group, must come down to the beginning of the
Ptolemaic era. The APlSTArOPA XAlPEniSI-
AAMHNAKTO3 group will therefore come at the
beginning
of the series.
This conclusion is confirmed by two other con-
siderations. The first, though it offers only negative
evidence, is worth taking into account. Under
APISTArOPA, XAlPEniM, and AAMHNAKTO*
the only known subdivision is the tenth. Under
KYAIOS0 - - and 0EYEIAEY5 we find the drachm
as well; IA3HN adds the triobol; and the whole
set is maintained under XAlPlO^ 92
(except the
tenths), and under nOAIAN0EYS. Thus if the
order suggested for these magistrates be correct
