Additional comment
Ocheşeanu and Cliante 1988: 1/4 mina? or 1/6 mina?
Killen 2017: Bei diesem Gewicht und den folgenden ist zu überlegen, ob es sich um offizielle Gewichte aus Kallatis (s. Kat. Kall) handeln kann. Als Parasemon von Kallatis wurde bereits die Keule in Verbindung mit Bogen (z. T. Gorytos) identifiziert.
