Remarks: | (1) | The letter E is missing on both cited specimens of variant 6.1d, and it is not clear whether it is out of flan, or whether the city ethnic was non-standardly abbreviated to KΛ. |
(2) | It is not clear from the photo of the cited specimen of variant 6.1e in Klein 1999 whether there is an object under the Pegasus, or whether it is a die flaw. It is also not clear whether the reverse is anepigraphic, or whether there is an inscription [K–E]–Λ on the left around the goat. |
