Additional comment
Avram 2012–15: Interprétation des monogrammes par E. Bormann : lettres ΟΥ = οὐ(νκία). «Der übrig bleibende Rest ist auf der einen Seite ΔΙ, das als δι(καία) δ(έκα) δ(ραχμαί) aufgefasst werden könnte, auf der anderen Seite besteht er anscheinend aus den Buchstaben ΠΕΜ, wobei man an πέμπτον oder δραχμαί denken mag».
