The explanations that some anti- quaries tried to give these letters, are not very likely to stop there.

In these two medals, which have reverses Particular board, the two names Vabalath, Atheno- ^ ^ • dore, font accompanied by the titles of Auto crator,

of Céfar, & of Augufte: in those which have the head of Aurélien, on the reverse, there is only the title to'Autocrator, with the name of Vabalath, son of Athenodorus; & in the small medallion there is has that the name of Athenodore fans that of Va- balath, & fans no title.

It appears by these differences in the heads, in the names, ôc in the titles which find fur these medals, which the Vabalath represented for those who have particular setbacks, do not eft not the same Vabalath that we see over the years others with the head of Aurélien. We think that one is the father, and the other the son; & here is fiir what is the basis for establishing this opinion.

The titles of Céfar & d'Augufle, which Va- balath, son of Odenath Se of Zenobia, takes fury his medals, make it known that he was affiliated with the empire, like his father, fans that we angry if it is by Gallienus, by Claude the gothi- that, or by Aurélien, that he raised me to this dignity tee. As it was incompatible with the king- ty, it is quite natural, that by leaving this one with the ornaments & marks that characterize it

reign over the name of her grandson, so that she

previously reigned under that of his son, who

being the eldest of Herodian & Timolaiis, could

children.

This is only by recognizing the father and the son fur these different medals struck in the same place, & in the same year marked by the letters l.€, which can be understood why the heads, the names, & the titles they contain, ignore different. Father's head it is crowned with laurel, and could not be otherwise, like Augufle affiliated with the empire. The head of the son is surrounded by the diadem, and must be adorned in this way, as king of Palmyra. The father there calls Vabalath-Athenodore: this make two different names, (which may seem be extraordinary); but it was the ufage of the Sy- nothing, to take a Greek name at that time with their Syrian name, & of fè fèrvir sometimes of one or the other separately, sometimes both together. Examples of this have been reported by different authors. The son efl calls fur fes me-

Those who represent the head of Aurélien, with that of young Vabalath in reverse, font dated for Aurélien from the first & of the fruitful year of his reign; & for young Vabalath, of the fourth & fifth year of his father's reign, as king of Palmyra, from the death of Odenath. The dates from the fifth year which is found in the medals that you have from Zenobia, have the same origin. With regard to those of Vabalath -Au- gufle, the date of the same fifth year, which we see there similarly, can proceed from two points; do, from the time he began to reign as king of Palmyra, or the time that! was made AuguAe; fuppofé that it was crazy Gallien, immediately after his father's death.

There are five of them in fa collection; favoir, one with the head of the em- father Claude, & the eleventh year of the regfiâ d^ Polemon; & four,, with the head of Meron, Sç the years > 18, ip^ 23 & 24. His reign was 26 years old.

The two which are reported here, are disappointing years 15 & “D®. The first” which contains I4 head of Agrippina, most unusual shape. This empress y efl: represented with the diadem, so as not to be able to misunderstand it; <;'^ft j with the exception of the diadem, the same head* qj^ we see the gold & silver medals 4th Claude Se of Nero.

KINGS OF HERACLE DU PONT.

The head which appears there represents ty i appears to be that of Bacchus; instead of on the other medal, it is the head of Apollo fled- before the sentiment of Haym, who, on occasion proud of this medal, reports everything that found in ancient authors relating to kings or tyrants of the city of Heraclea.

Timothy & Denys were contemporary brothers porains of Alexander the Great. They reigned some time together, and Denys fled father after the death of his brother. He had married Amaflris, niece of Darius, to whom he gave by dying reminiscence of the State, with the guardianship of his young children. This Princess will of the famous city, called by its name Amaflris, & was since married successfully at dateras & at Lyâmaque: the latter seized

All antiquarians have attributed to Amyn- tas, king of Macedonia, grandfather of Alexander the Great, medals similar to the one which is reported here; but as they reflect entirely damaged by the mafTue which efl behind the heads, & by the type of the pafTant lion which is on the other side, only by their shape & their factory, with the medals of the kings of Ga-^ latie, it was recognized that they belong to Amyntas, last king of this Dynafty: M, Abbot Barthélémy said rnbfervation, com- I see it in volume XXVI of Mémoi-» res of the Academy.

KINGS OF CIBYRA

MOAGETE.

C^iBYRE city of Phrygia, was the capital of a country which extended to the borders of Pifidia, Se in which was compressed the CabaHe ^ which contained the towns of Bubon, (Ënanda Se Balbura. It seems that this country was made by several kings or tyrants, who also bore the name of Moagete. Titus Livc mentions a river of this name, including Manlius, commander of the Ro-army Maine, demanded a large contribution the year of Rome ^6^, Strabo, on his side, reports that during the war against Mithridates, more than a hundred years later, Muréna removed the prince property of Cibyre, (which, he says, had always been occupied by tyrants) another king calls similarly Moagete, Se that this one was the last.

Like the last eft from a factory more elegant, & that it entirely resembles eelle of Amyntas who is on the run, there is the same- there is no reason to believe that it belongs to one of the last kings of this DynafÛe.

This medal is very similar to the previous one from Moagete., It is the same factory, the same head of Diana on one side, & the same type of deer on the other side. There's. to all app- ence that it was struck in Cibyre, capital states of Moagete; &.that this city was comprife in the different principalities which were given fuccefïlvemei^t to Amyntas, by Marc-Antoine & by Augufte. Amyntas was not firstly as secretary of Déjotarus, king of Ga- lati«; he was enfliite charged with command of the troops that this Prince sent to Brutus

against Marc-Antoine, & Céfàr- 0<^avien; but

having sided with them, he had to reward Galatia, Pifidia Se la Lycaonia with part of Pamphylia. Since then, in the war between Marc-Antoine & Augufte, having abandoned the party of the first, he held from Augufte several other states; fa- vair rifaurie, part of Cilicia, & probably the Cibyratide who was cob- tiguë at Pifidie.

Cétoit Ariarathe, first of the name, who re- gnoited around the time of Alexander; & we count up to ten kings who bore the same name. The royal race having become extinct upon the death of Aria- Rathe IX, the nation elected Ariobar in his place zane, first of the name. Father Belléy, in one of the diflertations inferred in the volume XXIIi of the Memoirs of the Academy, clarified the filiation & flight of the kings of the fertile race: he made it known that there had been some three named Ariobarzane, against the fenti- ment of all the antique dealers, who had none recognized as two. At the third fucceda Aria- Rathe X, Éulèbe Philadelphe who was his brother, of which we have a few medals: he was the fourth third king, & the last of this fertile race. Marc-Antoine Payant deposed, established in fa place Archélaiis, son of a Pontiff of Comane; & this one having died in the year 17 of the vulgar era fleeing Tillemont, Cappadocia was reduced in the Roman province.

C* E s T a silver medallion perfectly conferred, which is reported here. Until pre- since we had not known any of the kings of Cappadocia. This one deemed unique, cannot be attributed only to one of the first kings of the name of Ariarathe, both because of the time they reigned, the kings took no other titles than that of basiaeos fur their currencies> only because the head which is represented there, does not resembles none of those that we see as we the medals of the other fleeing kings bearing the name of Ariarathe.

What has caufé fans doubt their contempt, it is that the first title is much more ordinary than the fe- cond, which perhaps does not belong to any other kings medal; & that moreover the long legend being contained in a small circuit, the letters of which it is composed are almost each other, that they touch each other appear to be confused by some of these medals.

If there the second letter could sees being deprived for a p, this would be the known name of Arlàmus; but it is a very - diftinâ iota: , & formed in such a way that it cannot be taken for another letter. Even if it would make the name of Arfamus, we would hardly be further advanced, by the difficulties that Father Frœlich encountered very likely to find a prince of this name, to whom we could award Samus' medal, fur which he had first thought he saw apsamot. There however, has every reason to believe that the founder owner of the town of Arfamofate bore the name of Arfamus or Arfkmes; but that's what Old authors make no mention of it.
