May examines Alexander-type tetradrachms bearing the small name of Nikokles within the lion skin on the obverse. Die connections and a group of coins acquired from de Cosson support his discussion of Paphos and the sequence of its issues. The proposed connection of much of that group with the Demanhur find should be read as a provenance argument, rather than as a recorded excavation context.
