context
IK Perge II 300: Das Stück hat das Museum Side kürzlich von einem Antikenhändler aus Burdur erworben. Der Verkäufer gab als Fundort des Stückes die Gegend von Burdur an, was sicherlich falsch ist. Gemäß dem Inhalt der Inschrift muss es wohl aus Perge stammen [...]. Das Bleigewicht wird heute im Museum von Side unter Inv. 2425 aufbewahrt.

Additional comment
Due to its type ('ionian'; see archaeological description) this weight may come from Ephesos or any other city in West Asia Minor. Crispus Didymus is the same agoranomos as in weight 12122, which represents one uncia and may also come from Ephesos/West Asia Minor.
