Additional comment
Ex National Museum of Beirut, according to Seyrig (now lost)?
Gatier 2016, p. 249: nous n’avons pas retrouvé son poids n° [I.A.5], qu’il avait également vu au MNB, qui est très proche de celui-ci [n° I.B.14 = Gatier 2016, n° 534], mais qu’il attribue à la série ancienne de la cité, antérieure à 187/186 av. J.-C.
