Tekin 2014b: The weights of the Group II [Tekin 2014b, n. 9–15] (without any inscription or depiction and rectangular or square in form) are enormous in number in museums and private collections in Turkey. It is difficult to make suggestions for their attributions to any city. But since our examples are from the collection of Çanakkale Museum, one may suggest that they originate from Northwestern Asia Minor, i.e. Troas, northern Mysia, Thracian Chersonesus and maybe from Southeastern Thrace.
