Auction Archaeological Center 2007: Marisa (Maresha). A Hellenistic Period square lead weight with rounded corners, 296.8 gr., 7.4×8.0 cm., 0.6 cm. thick. The center is dominated by an 8 petals rosette with a dotted knob, and is surrounded by a raised circle. The reverse has a network pattern. The Greek inscription reads: LΟΡ ΑΓΟ ΑΝΤΙΠΑ / ΤΡΟΥ ΤΟΥ ΗΛΙΟΔ/ΩΡΟΥ ΚΑΙ ΑΡΙCΤΟΔ/ΑΜΟΥ ΤΟΥ ΑΡΙΣΤΟΝ “Year 170, Antipater, son of Heliodoros and Aristodamos, son of Ariston(...), being agoranomoi”, all in a raised edge. Year 170 according to the Seleucid era of 312 is equal to 143/2 BC. Good condition. Extremely rare. (A. Spaer coll. no. W-311 ). Published by Alla Kushnir-Stein, 2002, no. 2.

Kushnir-Stein 2002: A measuring table with an inscription along its sides, reading: L ορ´ ἀγορανομούντων Ἀντιπά[τρου τοῦ Ἡλιο]δώρου καὶ Ἀριστοδ|άμου τοῦ Ἀρίστον[---], was discovered in the excavations at the site of Maresha (Kloner et al. 1998: 154-157; Finkielsztejn 1999: 51-64). Since our weight is dated by the same year and names the same pair of agoranomoi, there can be little doubt that it originates in the Hellenistic city of Marisa in Idumaea as well.
