I think #192 is a double match for Hr/J 8.14.8.2 One is able to discern two partial letters before Dionysos' head (ΓAΛΛXX), then the pinecone tip of thrysus, next ethnic, sic no break in ΓAΛΛOV and thus not a new variant. JPW

You are right! I have misinterpreted the upper pine-cone as V of GALLOV. Corrected.
