CPAI III/1: Rectangular cutting board in form with raised edges; tab broken away; edges are decorated with large dots. On the obverse, caduceus; inscription illegible or no inscription. The reverse is blank. Although the mass of the present weight corresponds to a hemilitron (litra agoraia of about 500 g)., the missing tab might bring the original mass up to about 300 g then it may be a litron in unit but in fact we don’t know the size of the missing tab.
