QUAESTIONES CYKENAICAE. 273
Another example with a jerboa for symbol in place
of the bunch of grapes, and EYA in place of ft,
appeared in the Philipsen Sale, 182 and there is yet a
third variety (M. i. 89, and B. M.) with branch as
symbol and an uncertain magistrate's name, of
which the first letter seems to be f. Attached to this
group are two coins with the same types (though the
gazelle is turned to the left), and the magistrate's name
in full. On these we find SftSIS (M. i. 90 A) and
the very dubious AN0IF1I1N reported by Sestini (M.
i. 90).
All of the foregoing must be later than No. 101, on
a specimen of which one of them is over-struck (M.
i. 88 A). M. i. 88-90 will all belong to the same group,
though Mliller gives no magistrate, no ethnic, and sometimes
no symbol. 18 "'

Another specimen, B. M., M.4, Wt. 12-4 grs. = M.
i. 245, has for symbol a plectrum of the shape
found on certain Lycian coins, 184 called by Miiller "un
chapeau". There was doubtless a symbol also on the
coins of the same types figured under M. i. 244. The
plough, as symbol, we have met with on the small
gold of the fourth period above (No. 94).

read KYPA plainly.
183 The Hunter coin (Macdonald, iii. Cyrene, No. 28), which
Miiller gives under No. 88 without a symbol, really has the branch.
