Watch List notes:

PHOENICIA. Byblos. Circa 2nd century BC to 2nd century AD. Weight of 1/4 Mina (Tetarton) (Lead, 60x62 mm, 179.00 g), ....as Kla(udios) 'the Younger', magistrate. TE-TAP/TOY Two crossed cornucopiae with crown of Isis between; in linear frame around, [...]AC KΛA NЄⲰTЄPOY [...]. Rev. Blank. Unpublished and unique. Some deposits, otherwise, very fine.


It is very unusual to find an inscription on the outer frame of weights from Byblos. Here, it provides the name of a Kla(udios) 'the Younger', clearly the magistrate overseeing the production of the weight.
