PHOENICIA, Arados. Uncertain king. Circa 380-351/0 BC. AR Stater (18mm, 10.33 g, 9h). Head of marine deity right, wearing laurel wreath / Galley right; m a (in Phoenician) above, waves below; dotted line border above, curved solid border below; all within [incuse square]. Betlyon 10; Rouvier 2; HGC 10, 29 corr. (see below). VF, toned, a little granular, light marks under tone.


In HGC 10, no. 28 (= Betlyon 9) is a tetrobol, while no. 29 (= Betlyon 10) is a stater with a frontal eye, not a profile eye (there is no distinction between the two eyes in Betlyon). Thus, the photo marked 28 is actually a photo of 29, while the photo marked 29 is actually an enlargement of a tetrobol, HGC 10, no. 40 (= Betlyon 11).
