| There are two different hoards of silver fractions that were published by Destrooper-Georgiades 1988 and denoted as the Rouvier hoard and the Delepierre hoard. IGCH 1263 includes the Rouvier hoard (CH VIII, 99), which is in the American Numismatic Society collection, and a small part of the Delepierre hoard (CH IX, 401), which is in the Collection of Bibliotheque Nationale de France. However, the Delepierre hoard falls under CH VIII, 100. | ||
| The mints of Cilicia Trachea are represented by Kelenderis and Nagidos. The numbers of coins in these two mints were taken from Destrooper-Georgiades 1988 and CH VIII, 99, because these numbers correspond to the list of coins in the ANS collection given in IGCH 1263. However, of the listed 73 coins from the Kelenderis mint, 6 were relocated here as part of uncertain issues because they apparently came from other mint (1 obol of type Pegasus forepart l. / rough incuse square, 5 obols of type gorgoneion / rough incuse square). Data on other mints and the total number of coins are taken from IGCH 1263. | ||
| The year of discovery was taken from Destrooper-Georgiades 1988, p. 21, but this year only applies to the Rouvier hoard. The Delepierre hoard was bought in 1944–5 (ibid, p. 21), so it was discovered in 1944 at the latest. | ||

| Lycia(?) 1973(?) / Franke | ||

| Pseudo-Kelenderis | 1 stater | |
| The hoard “Lycia(?) 1973(?)” described by Vismara 1999, pp. 157–170, is a mixture of various hoards (Spier 2000, p. 371). Only the portion of this hoard about which Robert P. Franke provided information to Novella Vismar is listed above. The Pseudo-Kelenderis coin is classified by Vismara under Kelenderis. However, it is far from certain whether the coins from the Kelenderis and Pseudo-Kelenderis mints really belong to the same hoard as the Lycian coins from the pre-dynastic and dynastic periods. | ||
| I give the burial date provisionally on the basis of the Kelenderis stater (Type 2.11a–b). | ||
