Note
The commentary of RPC ΙΙ 938 was the following: "A date in the second century would be expected for a coin with the legend IEΡA CΥNKΛHTOC, and stags do not normally appear with Artemis before the second century. Moreover the countermark also occurs on a coin of Hadrian from Nacrasa (here RPC 1804/10)". It is assumed here that Markos and Markos Iounianos are the names of the same strategos, though of course the form NAKΡACEIT occurs under Domitian and not later
