c10.s3.95

⁴ *CHI* p. 451 (Pl. III, 9), tetradrachm with obv. conventional head and no legend, rev. Zeus thundering and legend Διοδότου σωτῆρος; monogram ☩. The reasons given in *CHI* for believing it to be a ‘memorial’ (i.e. pedigree) coin, struck by Demetrius, appear to me to be conclusive. On the date of the monogram (see App. 1) the only alternative to Demetrius would be Demetrius II, and he I think would have necessarily (like Antimachus and Agathocles) put on the coin the word βασιλεύοντος and his name.
