The prince of the coin-mould might be some refugee to whom some Seleucid gave a little principality for his living, as Ptolemy II did to Ptolemy ‘the Telmessian’⁶ or Antony to Monaeses;⁷ but it is entirely obscure. - [Previous: c20.10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c20.10) - [Next: c20.12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c20.12) - [Up: c20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c20) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c20.11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c20.11) · Pramāṇa
