Corrections. The corrections to individual descriptions that have become necessary will find their place among the addendums at the end of the volume.

P. 63, second column: The tetradrachms with OEOY MEfAAOY only belong in the second century; cf. the introduction to Odessos and for now my comments in the archaeol yearbook. Institute 1898 p. 155 fg. p. 68 note i. — I had overlooked that the inscriptions discussed here were from Tomis and also p. 73 note 2 as number 4 cited to London came and from Newton (Ancient Greek Inscriptions in the British Museum 2 n. 174 - 176) have already been properly published. P. 77 Note 2. — The erroneous information about the coins of Nicopolis with two heads have been corrected on p. 333. About one in the same area For the Tomis coin belonging to the context, see p. 188 note 2 and p. 333 Note 4. — The contents of note 6 are corrected on page 156 note 2.
