Tekin 2019: ead balance weight, Teos? Hellenistic period. Depicted with griffin Mna, edges broken off. 479.8 g, 95×90×4 mm. İzak Eskinazi Collection.
Autoptic examination: Very fragmentary weight. It was probably a production failure that ended up in the scrap heap. This would explain why the iconographic type is still perfectly visible, as the weight has not circulated.
Tekin 2024: Mna, Pb 479.8 g, 95x90x4 mm. Inv. no. 552. Lead weight, square in form, right corners and edge are broken. On the top is a griffin, jumping right; no ethnic or unit mark. All are in relief. It is a mna in unit, but its original mass should be higher than 500 g due to the break in the right part. The bottom is blank but adhered extra large lead piece. It may be dated to the Early Hellenistic period. Attribution and identification are doubtful.
