Archaeological description
Tekin 2016a: Hemimnaion, Pb, 253 g. Η, Lion, Λ–Υ–Σ–Ι. E-bay item 321847848934. I would like to thank A. Yacı for drawing my attention to this weight.
Tekin 2018: Square lead weight with rounded corners and concave edges. On the obverse there is a lion protome jumping right with looking back (?), in relief. On the corners, from top left, Λ–Υ–Σ–Ι. Below the belly of the lion is an Η which stands for hemimnaion. The reverse is blank.
