few specimens were known to Lavoix, who attributed them to al-Ṣāliḥ Ḥājji, but

have now several <i>fulūs</i> of this issue, on which the mint,
Aleppo, and the date, 755 H., are clear. There can be no doubt about the
attribution to al-Ṣāliḥ Ṣāliḥ.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

heraldic bird of the reverse has been described as a duck, to which —
especially on poorly preserved specimens — it has a certain resemblance. Mayer,
in his <i>Saracenic Heraldry</i> (p. 7 and notes p. 3, 10 and 26),
points out, however, that there is no evidence that the duck was ever used as
heraldic emblem on a Mamlūk blazon.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

closer examination of the coins, the bird does not resemble a duck but rather
any walking bird with short legs, and could be an eagle, a raven or even a
sparrow. Until we have further clearer evidence, we should like to suggest the
eagle.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

series of bronze coins which was minted at Antioch mint from 121/0 BC (SE 192,
i.e. year 192 of the Seleukid era) to 111/10 BC (SE 202). Coins of this series
have the same design as the coins with the epithet <i>Philometor</i>, but
they bear the standard epithet <i>Epiphanes</i> and they are dated SE
192, ... , SE 200 and SE 202 (coins of this series dated SE 201 are not known).<a href="http://seleukidtraces.info/information/ni_antiochos_philometor.html#fn_5"><span style="background: #FFDD00; color: #2e2d2c; font-size: 7.0pt;">5</span></a> Whereas
coins of this series with the epithet <i>Epiphanes</i> are abundant,
the coins bearing the epithet <i>Philometor</i> are rare and they are
known from the year SE 202 only. Moreover, this epithet is not found elsewhere
on Antiochos VIII’s coins.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

who, after betraying, from desire of power, her husband Demetrius</i> (Demetrios
II)<i>, and putting to death her other son</i> (Seleukos V, the oldest son
of Demetrios II)<i>, was discontented at her dignity being eclipsed by the
victory of Grypus, and presented him with a cup of poison as he was returning
home from taking exercise. But Grypus, having received notice of her
treacherous intention, desired her (as if to show as much respect for his
mother as she showed for him) to drink herself first, and, when she refused,
pressed her earnestly, and at last, producing his informant, charged her with
the fact, telling her, “that the only way left to clear herself from guilt,
was, that she should drink what she had offered to her son.” The queen, being
thus disconcerted, and her wickedness turned upon herself, was killed with the
poison which she had prepared for another.</i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
