… known. The tentative new attributions, #1, 2, 3, are based on this meager information and provenance. These facts cannot easily be separated from the arguement, but can of-course be repeated. c) I did not mean that any part of the village had been dug. I specifically say "in historic" times" (only era pertinant to the coins). I may be wrong, but was under the impression that most of the Greek and Hellenistic stuff was found at Apollo or near-by, that the Byz. site lay nearer the present village and the Roman between. I did not wish to complicate matters by mention of pre-historic sites to the E, none so far as I knew continuously inhabited through Gr. & Rom. times.
{4) I think the half dozen or even dozen field researchers would be better served by adding the publication numbers to the original lists. Adding the C numbers to the catalogue (if got out by the ANS) would mean an additional 752 lines or over 20 pages of use only to persons who have access to the original lists anyway.
The reason for separating catalogue and commentary is primarily economy of space (can use smaller type, words "similar"- not separated by long paragraphs-and ditto marks) and also ease of reference. Compare Mrs. Waage's cat. of the Antioch coins and M.T.'s agora coins for the two systems.
I have not affection for this MS and no yen to appear in print. If you think it important primarily to the field re- searcher then I suggest adding the C numbers to the catalogue and cutting all historical commentary and striking off 20-25 mimeographed copies. Its chief value is simply that it is a record of what coins were found at Kourion. Coins nos. 1, 2, 3, 7, 8 are of interest as rare or unpublished. The counter-marks on the coins of Ptolemy II are also of interest, but before long some one else will have remarked that they occur only in Cyprus. The other "unpublished" pieces are so like other coins from the same time and place to be of minor concern.
