FROM 207 TO 208

Year 11̣ of the colony of Laodicea. According to Seyrig 1950a, p. 31–32, this era could be identical to the era of the metropolis of Laodicea [i.e. 193/194 CE] = 207/208 CE [rectius: 206/207 according to IGLS IV, 1272c]. But the weight MAH (Geneva), n° CdN 2017-20, shows that Year 253 of the Caesarian Era = Year 9 of the Colony = Year 13 of the Metropolis = 205/206 CE, so that Year 11 of the colony of Laodicea should be 207/208 CE.
