Excerpt from Catalogue of Greek Coins in the Hunterian Collection, University of Glasgow, Vol. 3: Further Asia, Northern Africa, Western Europe In preparing the volume for the press, I have incidentally been led to enter on the consideration of some interesting questions. Certain of these - the chronology of the money of Tigranes I., the portrait of Antiochus Theos, the coinage of Hierax, the issues of Antioch under the early empire, the era of Rhosus, and the significance of the numeral letters on imperial pieces of Syria - have already been discussed elsewhere. Others are now touched on more briefly in the footnotes. Among the latter it may be convenient to indicate specifically the dates on the coins of Apamea, the supposed use of the Actian Era at Tripolis, the legends that occur 'at Gaza, the well-known crux connected with the money of Agrippa II., and the employment of a die-test' as an aid in classifying the coins of Cyrene and of Carthage. I am exceedingly sorry that the exigencies of space have compelled me to reduce to the narrowest possible limits the Appendix showing the correspondence with Combe's Descri'ptio, and also to refrain from supplementing the Introduction to Volume I. By the reproduction of additional letters and papers dealing with Hunter's unlucky purchase of the Peralta Collection.
